Clerkship Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) [OSC310Y & OSC410Y]

Chief Examiner: Dr. Fok-Han Leung

The Clerkship Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a transcripted assessment situated with the clinical skills curriculum occuring after the first half of clerkship is complete. The exact timing of the Clerkship OSCE will vary slightly each academic year, and will be dependent on the Year 3 Clerkship schedule. 

Students will be assessed on clinical content areas that they were exposed to the in the first half of clerkship. The assessment blueprint will cover key areas as outlined in the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) blueprint including the dimensions of care provided by physicians (i.e. health promotion and illness prevention, acute, chronic, psychosocial) and key physician activities (assessment/diagnosis, management, communication and professional behaviours). The OSCE stations will focus on content from both the Clerkship Course Objectives and the MCC’s Clinical Presentations and Diagnoses.
