Hall, Alison SimpsonObjective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) inspire fear and loathing in student veterinary nurses and clinical coaches alike. With different courses using different assessment criteria, students can find preparing for OSCEs stressful if they receive different advice from difference sources. Unfamiliarity with equipment and resources present in the examination can be a further source of anxiety; if a student uses one type of centrifuge in practice, but faces a different model in their OSCE this can trigger panic and shaking hands may struggle to fill capillary tubes, especially with the added pressure of an examiner armed with a clipboard standing in attendance!
