Story
The OSCE Team started in M1 of MED 223.
Clinical skills lab works like this: you attend, you watch the skill simulated, you read the theory that’s meant to sit behind it, and then you go home. What you keep is whatever you managed to remember and whatever you scribbled down. Practising alone afterwards means reconstructing the session out of fragments.
The team stopped leaving that to memory. Every simulation, and the theory behind it, became one file — each skill written out as an ordered set of steps, explained, often demonstrated, with mnemonics where they earn their place.
You read it, you rehearse it, you read it again. Before the OSCE it’s the thing you go back to, and it has been for every batch since.
Works
- Every skill, written out as ordered steps.Taken from the simulation itself, not from memory.
- The theory tied to the skill it belongs to.One place instead of two.
- Demonstrations and mnemonics.Where a picture or a hook does more than a sentence.
- One file to rehearse from.Read it, practise, read it again.
Across the batches
The OSCE Team runs in every batch. The method carries over — every skill written out as steps you can rehearse — and each batch tailors the files to its own year as the curriculum shifts. Some match what came before. Some push it further.
