Objective: To analyze the perception of students in the 6th year of Medicine and 4th year of Physiotherapy of the Faculty of Medicine and Nursing of the University of Cordoba about the information received and different aspects related to the development of the OSCE test. Methodology: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire applied, after the OSCE test, to students in their last year of Medicine and Physiotherapy degrees at the University of Cordoba. Results: 95 Medicine degree students and 31 Physiotherapy degree students participated. Medicine students highlight the assessment of the previous information, the organization of the test and the time they had to complete the different stations. On the other hand, Physiotherapy students are more satisfied with the fact that they have seen or performed the clinical skills demanded in the OSCE to a greater extent. The overall assessment given to the test by Medicine and Physiotherapy students was 7.53/10 and 6.13/10, respectively. Conclusion: The perception of students in the 6th year of Medicine and 4th year of Physiotherapy of the Faculty of Medicine and Nursing of the University of Cordoba on different aspects of the OSCE test is different. The opinion of the students, although quite redeemable in general, reveals to be a key piece to generate improvement plans in future editions of this, by working with the teaching and care managers so that the students increase their clinical training during the degree.
