The OSCE focuses on assessing practical and clinical skills, including decision-making and communication, through real-world, simulated scenarios. It goes beyond theoretical knowledge, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation.
OSCE is widely used in healthcare to evaluate clinical skills, professionalism, and patient interaction in disciplines like medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and dentistry.
OSCE assesses technical skills (e.g., physical exams) and non-technical skills (e.g., communication, empathy) essential for effective patient care.
The OSCE employs structured stations and objective checklists to minimize bias and ensure consistency across evaluations, making it a reliable assessment method.
OSCE uses practical, simulated scenarios to evaluate how well candidates apply their knowledge, skills, and attitude in realistic clinical environments.
