🩺 OSCE practice stations NEW
Manned-station packs for clinical years and Final MB: history taking, examination, counselling, communication and procedures. Each station has candidate instructions, a script for the simulated patient and the examiner's marking checklist, so your study group can run it for real.
1 · Pick rolesOne friend is the candidate, one plays the patient, one examines. Practising alone? Read the candidate brief, then mark yourself.
2 · Run the clockOpen the station on each phone in its own role. The timer gives 1 minute of reading time, then the station time with a bell.
3 · Mark and debriefThe examiner ticks the checklist as it happens, asks the viva questions, then you all go through the key points.
