Your Success Matters to us Just as Much as it Does to You
OSCE tests practical skills such as clinical reasoning, communication, and procedural techniques. Training for OSCEs allows a health professional the ability to firm up such skills in a simulated scenario before applying it to the real patient care situation in the healthcare profession.
