A practical guide for candidates preparing for the Observed Structured Clinical Examination of the MRCPsych. After exploring the validity, reliability, importance and development of the OSCE format, Part 1 gives tips for preparing for and passing the exam. In Part 2 the skills tested in the different OSCE 'stations' that a candidate might meet are explored. This is backed up by the accompanying CD-ROM, where interactive video footage allows prospective candidates to experience 'virtual' OSCE stations and test their performance.
