What's the difference between OSCE Guides and OSCE Stations?

This article explains the difference between OSCE Guides and OSCE Stations.

OSCE Guides

OSCE guides are step-by-step instructional guides that show you how to perform clinical skills (e.g. procedures, clinical examinations etc). These are ideal for learning or reviewing a skill and often include:

• Written step-by-step instructions
• Illustrations and diagrams
• Video demonstrations
• Checklists

Our full collection of OSCE guides is available for free on geekymedics.com. All guide videos are also free on our YouTube channel. These free versions include advertising.
