Abstract

Given the current state of academic pharmacy, characterized by constrained resources and heightened expectations for curricular and professional excellence, institutions must strategically employ methods to enhance efficiency. Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are beneficial for assessing communication skills that are difficult to measure within traditional examinations; however, OSCEs are labor-intensive and costly to administer. In this commentary, we describe the context, process, successes, challenges, and best practices for inter-institutional collaborative OSCE development and implementation. Here we put forth a call to action to all institutions within the Academy to consider forming such collaboratives.
