Objective structured clinical examination

An objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is an approach to the assessment of clinical competence in which the components are assessed in a planned or structured way with attention being paid to the objectivity of the examination which is basically an organization framework consisting of multiple stations around which students rotate and at which students perform and are assessed on specific tasks.[1] OSCE is a modern[2] type of examination often used for assessment in health care disciplines.
