Delivered on February 8 by Dr. Karim Michail

The objectives of this training class are to:

review one or more recorded OSCE station(s) of former candidates (consent provided), as time allows for it, and constructively critique the performance to extract learning lessons,
train through 1 full sample station that is administered by the instructor using a rigorous station-specific assessor checklist,
receive hands-on training through 7-9 OSCE scenarios (more simulations may be added as time allows),
continue to reinforce the technique of creating accurate and comprehensive “assessor checklist” to prepare your OSCE stations for individual small-scale training with your peers,
interpret “opening statements” in the given OSCE scenarios,
explain how to "map an OSCE simulation" in order to identify the station objectives and critical information,
provide practical tips on interviewing techniques ("what are the right and informative questions to ask"),
interpret and guide how to enhance performance by providing examples on response thoroughness and completeness,
scrutinize each given scenario to figure out critical and marginal info,
provide an instant feedback on outcomes and performance in the given OSCE scenarios,
provide advices and tips regarding communication skills in the challenged clinical/practical simulations,
train on the efficient use of external references, whenever applicable,
answer your questions; therefore, please do not hesitate to ask questions about any OSCE cases you went through.
