OSCE Timer

An OSCE — Objective Structured Clinical Examination — sends you around a circuit of timed stations, each testing a clinical skill against a checklist. This timer runs a common long-station format: eight-minute stations with a two-minute change-over to read the next prompt and move on, with a bell marking every switch so you can practice working to the clock.

OSCE formats vary a lot between medical schools — stations run from five to fifteen minutes and circuits from a few stations to twenty. Treat this as a starting point: open it in the editor and set the station length, the change-over time, and the number of stations to match your own exam, then rehearse the rhythm of one station and the reset into the next.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is an OSCE station?
It varies by school — commonly five to ten minutes, with longer stations up to about fifteen. This preset uses an eight-minute station with a two-minute change-over; reset both in the editor to match your own exam.
How many stations are in an OSCE?
Anywhere from a handful to around twenty, depending on the school and the year. This preset is set to eight; change the number of rounds in the editor to match your circuit.
What is the change-over time for?
The gap between stations, when you move to the next booth and read its prompt before the bell to start. The preset gives two minutes; some exams build the reading into the station instead.
