The authors’ assessment of the OSCE was conducted. METHOD: Residents completed and evaluated an OSCE designed according to guidelines set by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. RESULTS: These residents considered the OSCE fair (86%) and appropriate (89%) in assessing clinical ability. They believed that the OSCE reflected the skills required in clinical practice and found it preferable to the IPA. CONCLUSION: The OSCE received positive evaluation from residents.
