As a family doctor from Saudi Arabia, currently pursuing a PhD, I appreciated taking the Mock-OSCE exam to train and assess my English communication skills. The test was well-organised, challenging, and efficient. Examiners gave me feedback which was structured, safe, to the point and well received.

Great experience and extremely helpful.
Carol C., Australia
The power of the consult for diagnosis is sometimes considered as strong as sophisticated imaging and/or assays - Mock-OSCE is a fantastic tool to sharpen skills, get more out of consults, and ultimately build stronger relationships with patients.
K.S., United States
The feedback is especially helpful as it provides useful details of improvement.
