Abstract

The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a tool for measuring the dimensions of clinical competences. OSCE differs from traditional oral or written examination and results should not be influenced by lack of knowledge of the testing type. We prepared a video describing the practical aspects. On a Likert scale from 1 to 7 our video was rated 4 (interquartile range (IQR): 4-6). An informatory lecture was rated 4 (IQR: 3-5) and a rehearsal OSCE was rated 6 (IQR: 5-7). Video use peaked in the days up to OSCE. Accessibility should be improved by reaching out using the appropriate tools. We encourage the use of video for preparation to new examination types.
