How to create and share OSCE stations

You can access our OSCE station creator tool here: https://app.geekymedics.com/osce-stations/create/

With our OSCE Station creator, you can create your own OSCE stations and organise your OSCE stations into shareable circuits, making it easy to set up mock OSCE sessions with friends. Or, you can ask AI to create a station for you. You can even create an AI-driven virtual patient! All of this functionality is available to everyone for free.

Making your own station



Our advanced OSCE station creator tool allows you to create OSCE stations. Each station is made up of student instructions, patient instructions and examiner instructions (including an OSCE checklist and optional examiner questions):

Candidate instructions: add instructions for the candidate before they start the station (e.g. the patient's presenting complaint, what the setting is, and what the candidate has to do during the station)
Patient instructions/script: create a script for the person playing the role of the patient, with information about their symptoms and past medical history. You can include images for examination findings.
Examiner checklist: build an interactive checklist, you can import a pre-made checklist from our bank of OSCE station checklists
Examiner questions: add questions to ask the candidate once they have completed the station



Each station that you create will be saved in your account in your OSCE station library.


Using AI to generate a station



To use AI to generate an OSCE station, go to the OSCE station launchpad, and click the Station Generator button.




You will then have the option to have a completely random station created for you, or you can choose to provide the AI with as much or as little information as you like to point it in the right direction. The station will be created for you and will be saved in your account.
At present, our AI is limited to generating history-taking stations only.


Can I make my own virtual patient?



Yes- this feature is available for history-taking and counselling stations. If you have created your own OSCE station (or if AI has generated one for you), you will see a button within that station that says generate virtual patient.




Once clicked, this will convert your patient information into an AI-driven virtual patient for you to converse with. The more information, the better! This button will not appear if there is less than 500 characters of patient information provided. If you want to add or take away information at any point, simply edit the patient instructions.


Your OSCE station library



OSCE stations you create a stored in your personal OSCE station library: https://app.geekymedics.com/osce-stations/personal/

Your OSCE stations remain private, unless you decide to share them.

Tip: You can either share OSCE stations directly with other users (by sending them a link), or you can set up a Group Practice session.
