The OSCE is a practical assessment exam designed to assess a candidate for the skills, competencies & practical knowledge of dentistry in various clinical scenarios.
In the final exam the OSCE will consist of a circuit of approximately 17-18 OSCE stations and each station will last for five minutes. Out of all the stations two of the stations will be rest stations where the candidate will be provided with refreshments. Depending on their place in the rotation, a candidate might begin or end their OSCE circuit at a rest station. This exam might also include few of the pilot OSCEs.
Our OSCE training course for dental nurses is a 1 day well knitted program which prepares you for the final exam. This course covers all aspects of the exam and provide training for the best performance and outcome.
