The NCH BHMS Regulations-2022 emphasize outcome-oriented, competency-based education, with explicit mention of OSCE and related tools (OSPE, DOPS, etc) as integral to assessment across professional years. Third BHMS marks the formal introduction of General Surgery as a major clinical subject, with defined clinical postings, history-taking, examination skills, and basic surgical procedures forming key outcomes. Within the CBDC for Third BHMS, structured clinical assessment is recommended to judge “shows how” and “does” levels of Miller’s pyramid, and OSCE is identified as particularly suitable for this purpose.
OSCE was originally developed to provide an objective and reproducible format for evaluating clinical competence through multiple short stations with standardised checklists. In homoeopathic medical education, OSCE is increasingly recognised as a necessary supplement to traditional long-case and viva voce, especially were regulations demand demonstration of specific clinical skills and professional behaviours.
