What is an OSCE?

Remote OSCEs provide medical schools and healthcare education providers with a practical alternative to in-person clinical assessments.  

Our remote OSCE software helps organisations deliver structured clinical exams from any location, reducing the need for physical stations while maintaining a consistent assessment process. 

The eSystem includes integrated video functionality, letting candidates, examiners and simulated patients take part in assessments without relying on separate video software.  

Students can access the exam securely from their own locations, while examiners can complete marking directly and securely from anywhere. 

Automatic candidate station rotation keeps assessments running smoothly, while image sharing tools support stations where candidates need to review and discuss visual materials like X-rays or clinical images.  

See the benefits of the eSystem.

Run structured, clinical assessments remotely without being on-site in a traditional exam setting.

Video is built directly into the remote OSCE module, removing the need for separate third-party video software.

Monitor assessment progress during live exams with real-time assessment data and up-to-date information for assessment teams.

Manage stations involving multiple examiners and more complex clinical assessment scenarios.

Share images with candidates during remote assessments to support clinical scenarios, visual questions and station-based tasks.

Run reports and export results after exams to help review candidate performance, assessment outcomes and examiner feedback.
