The students have to attend three types of stations i.e. Procedure station, Question station, and Interpretation station. Conclusion: OSPE is well accepted by the students and Examiners as compared to traditional practical Examination and overall it is an Objective, Valid, Reliable and Reproducible assessment methodology.
