This rigorous examination required students to rotate through several stations on a timed basis, encountering a variety of simulated tasks and performing specific functions at each station.
The OSCE comprised both interactive and non-interactive stations. At interactive stations, students engaged with standardized patients, carers, or healthcare professionals, with a trained examiner evaluating their performance using a standardized marking key. In contrast, non-interactive stations required written responses, which were assessed without direct observation.
The OSCE stations covered a wide range of competencies essential for pharmacy practice, including:
o Patient Care o Professional Collaboration and Teamwork o Ethical, Legal, and Professional Responsibilities o Drug, Therapeutic, and Practice Information o Communication and Education o Drug Distribution o Management Principles In Hospital Clerkship I, the summative OSCE included 14 stations: 11 non-interactive and 3 interactive. For Hospital Clerkship II, the exam expanded to 19 stations: 13 non-interactive and 6 interactive. These stations were meticulously designed to test a diverse array of skills and competencies, such as:
Communication: Effectively communicate drug-related information. Patient Counselling: Provide guidance and support to patients regarding their medications. History-Taking: Accurately gather patient histories. Problem-Solving: Identify drug-related problems and design appropriate pharmaceutical care plans. Problem Identification and Prioritisation: Recognize and prioritize patient issues.
