It will cover explaining the ASSESS domain grading system, practicing marking an OSCE station, explaining how to use electronic tablets for marking, and discussing scores. The session will review how OSCEs have changed during COVID with distancing, masks, some virtual stations, and pre-briefings now via video. Examiners will practice marking a sample student interaction and providing domain scores and feedback.
