OSCE Invigilation
Tuesday 22nd July 2025 & Wednesday 23nd July 2025 Guys Campus
Applicants must NOT be part of the MBBS course at King's College London or the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine.
You will be invigilating for OSCE Exams for the Medical Students. OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Exams) are split into different circuits made up of 6 stations. Each station has a different scenario, which lasts 8 minutes. Students will be examined on their performance of each station.
Once they complete a station, they will move on to the next station, which is in numerical order. The exam runs as a loop, so if there are 6 stations, the student will go back to station 1 after finishing station 6. The exam finishes when they have completed all the stations of the circuit.
After the students have completed the circuit, they return to the student holding rooms whilst the supporting staff (incl. invigilators) prepare the stations & circuits for the next group of students as well as collate the examiner feedback sheets for them to be returned to the students before they are dismissed.
