The OSCE, the $5000 clinical role-playing examination doctors have to pass to attain fellowship, is being consigned to history after been judged outdated by the RACGP.

The nation’s coronavirus measures already mean this year’s OSCE, which involves actors pretending to be patients with various clinical problems, will be replaced with a one-off “transitional” examination which complies with social distancing rules.
