Correspondence to Dr Vivienne Mak, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Monash University, Parkville, VIC 3052, Australia;Vivienne.Mak@monash.edu Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are used as summative assessments in the pharmacy programme to assess students’ clinical knowledge and oral communication skills. [...]some learning outcomes were modified depending on adaptations required for online OSCE stations. In addition to medical devices, if there are any further props required for the OSCE station, these are provided and made available as PowerPoint presentations that are designed to be managed by the simulated patient/examiner.
