An OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) consists of a series of short
‘stations’ at which you will be expected to undertake a clinically related task under
examination conditions, Your performance is marked against specified criteria and you
may be given immediate feedback on how you have done:
General Tips for OSCE Examinations and Finals
‘Make a list of the most common OSCE stations well in advance of the exam.
Look at any checklists for the tasks that you are expected to perform. There are
several textbooks that help with this... Try and prepare your own checklists.
Make a list of the key steps that will be involved in each clinical task, and cheek
this with colleagues, The exact sequence is less important than ensuring that you
try to cover everything required within the allotted time. Having said this, don’t
‘worry too much if you miss out one or two things at a particular station as you can
still achieve very high overall marks.
Start practising and rehearsing the tasks well ahead of the exam.
Practice with friends and flatmates and ask for feedback.
Concentrate your ‘revision’ on the type of stations where you feel less confident.
Ifyou are unsure how to do something then ask someone or find out.
Ask people in the same year (or years above). They have done the OSCE exam you
are doing! Many cases / stations will be the same from year to year...
If you are competent in the general outlines of history, examination and
explanation as this will get you a pass even if you miss pathology.
When revising for examination, expl
ation and history stations go through a set
routine until it becomes second mature (eg. for CV exam always do a full
examination rather than only feeling the pulse or auscultating the praecordium)
‘Memorize opening and closing statements for your presentations.
Keep a clear head on the day. Dress smartly, act naturally and follow the
examiners lead. They are expecting you to be nervous so avoid the beta blockers.
OSCEs can be ‘a rewarding and educational experience.’ Be positive.
