Abstract

Background: The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) assesses healthcare students’ competencies in a range of skills. OSCEs can be stressful, and students prepare in different ways, including practising with peers, placements, simulations or working part-time in the healthcare sector. Aims: This study explored student experience on OSCE, with a particular focus on those not passing at the first attempt. Methods: Following ethical approval, an online questionnaire of 25 mixed-type questions (demographics, experience and views of past OSCEs) was sent to pharmacy students at a London university. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.
