This e book is meant to help students getting ready to sit OSCEs in dentistry at undergraduate and postgraduate level. It consists of a spread of OSCE stations and lists the things that the examiners will expect to see you perform so that you can skip that station. It suggests that a correct analysis with out the previous steps does no longer always cause a high-quality rating, and marks are presented for things which includes an introduction and empathy. It isn’t always supposed as a textbook to train you a way to carry out various scientific talents but as a substitute to provide frameworks around which maximum answers/tasks can be achieved.
