Family Medicine OSCE Book 2021 : For Residents and Faculty

The aim of this book is to orient the residents on what OSCE is, based on the information available and experience of the faculty. This will also make the Residents confident and guide them on how to ace the exam.

This book will also serve as a tool for the faculty involved in teaching and training at all levels including Formative assessments to enhance the clinical performance skills of the trainees.

OSCE exams in India are different, especially in these challenging times of the COVID 19 pandemic, they have been modified in terms of time and structure by the NBE. The authors have tried to do their best to choose cases seen and expected to be seen by Family doctors. The cases selected are broad based, there are some repetitions, but just like each patient situation is unique, each station is unique.

Residents will immensely benefit from the examples from this book, as it will give a perspective of how OSCE stations are constructed and can be answered. It will give them the desired knowledge and confidence to face the exam.

Faculty can use this book to use the examples as a starting point and take it to a higher level for training and assessment.
