What is NMC OSCE?
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is an important assessment tool in medical education that evaluates the clinical competence of healthcare professionals. OSCE takes a hands-on approach, with candidates moving through a number of stations, each presenting a distinct clinical situation. This format not only assesses knowledge but also highlights critical skills such as patient communication, problem-solving, and practical applications. By simulating real-life interactions, the OSCE provides a structured and objective way to measure readiness for clinical practice, making it an integral part of training for aspiring healthcare providers.
