Course Description:
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) Preparation Program assists Internationally Trained Physicians preparing for the National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) and/or the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam Part 2 (MCCQE2). The competencies and the objectives for the NAC OSCE and QE2 are reviewed and the expectations of a PGY1 resident versus a PGY2 resident are outlined for the different case scenarios presented. These sessions are facilitated by an experienced medical educator from UofA. Standardized patients are used for hands-on practice. The sessions focus on taking an organized history, clinical knowledge and skills, physical exam skills, the think-aloud technique, approach to the patient, ethics, professionalism, communication, and decision-making abilities.
The program objectives are:
- to understand the exam objectives, format, and assessment criteria
- to increase clinical knowledge, decision-making, and management across a broad range of cases through discussion on current evidence and interactive, hands-on practice scenarios and feedback
- to review specific tasks such as case presentations, interpreting of results based on expected formats
- to enhance communication, cultural and language skills relative to patient-centered care and the Canadian context
- to familiarize oneself with time frames allotted for demonstrating competencies
