These tests include the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), in which candidates proceed through multiple, timed, independent stations designed to assess predetermined clinical skills, and the use of standardized patients (SPs), that is, lay people who are trained to simulate a variety of medical problems in a consistent, reliable, and realistic manner.
