The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is increasingly being used as a means of comprehensive, standardised student assessment in clinical history-taking, patient examination and data intepretation. The OSCE can also be used to review the efficiency of teaching and enables feedback to the students about their performance.
