The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has become an excellent tool to evaluate many elements of a student’s clinical skills, especially including communication with the patient (human medicine) or client (veterinary medicine); eliciting clinical information from these conversations; some aspects of the physical examination; and many areas of clinical evaluation and assessment. One key factor is that the examination can be structured to compare different students’ abilities.
