| Description | Testing communication skills as well as the ability to react quickly and correctly to unpredictable patient behaviour is of key importance in the education of medical and healthcare study programmes. However, far from all forms of evaluation are suitable and effective for this very specific area. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is nowadays the gold standard for the examination of clinical skills such as communication with the patient, history taking, physical examination, performing certain procedures, prescription, evaluation of X-ray images, reading ECG and many others. The complete process of OSCE implementation, however, is extremely demanding not only due to staffing, but also due to the administration of all necessary steps. |
