OSCEhome provides a comprehensive preparation package for the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), clinical skills assessment, and patient encounters for medical students, residents, and international medical graduates. The core product is the OSCEhome Smart A-Z Scripts, a package of 12 information-packed eBooks (over 640 pages) designed to help candidates quickly and efficiently master history taking, physical examination, and clinical decision-making skills.
The content is structured as a 'tree of a step by step history taking and physical file boxes,' which allows users to follow a logical, time-efficient sequence for patient interviews, enabling them to focus on differentials, clinical decision making, and communication skills. The scripts provide carefully phrased questions and actions for various parts of the patient encounter, such as chief complaint, HPI, and specific systems.
In addition to the eBooks, OSCEhome offers an Online Clinical Skills and Communication Skills OSCE Exam Preparation Membership Course, which includes lessons, downloadable printable files, online presentations, and videos. This course is designed to be flexible, allowing participants to take lessons in any sequence and over any time frame.
