Story
The OSPE Team started in M1 of MED 223.
Labs run for nearly every subject — pathology, histology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry. You look down a microscope, handle specimens, take measurements, watch an experiment produce a result, stand over a cadaver while someone explains what you’re looking at. Then it’s yours to keep, however you manage it. Some people photograph everything. Some write notes. Some can hold a structure in their head after seeing it once, and most can’t.
The team collects the lab instead of leaving each person to salvage it. Specimens and structures photographed and annotated, measurements and calculations worked through, examples given, questions to test yourself against — and all of it tied back to the lectures, because the lab was never separate from them.
One file per subject, per block. It’s what the batch studies from, and OSPE carries its own marks.
Works
- The whole lab, photographed and annotated.Every specimen and structure, labelled while it’s still in front of someone.
- The explanation that goes with it.What you’re looking at, and how a measurement was arrived at.
- Questions to test yourself against.With worked examples to go through first.
- One file per subject, every block.Pathology, histology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry.
Across the batches
The OSPE Team runs in every batch. The method carries over — the whole lab gathered, annotated and tied back to the lectures — and each batch builds its files for its own year. Some match what came before. Some push it further.
