Teaching Strategy
We start by teaching you the strategies for identifying and answering different TYPES of OSCE questions.
It’s impossible to predict what exact questions you’ll be asked on the OSCE exam but if you have a strategy for any TYPE of question, you are ready!
Immediate 1 ON 1 Mock Exam Feedback
Our mock OSCEs are built to simulate the real OSCE under timed conditions. Pharmacists provide tailored feedback immediately on a 1-1 format after each station so you constantly improve as you progress through the track.
We Train You on All Types of Exam Cases
PharmaEpass tests you to all types of stations you might be examined on:
Interactive Stations: The case will involve a patient or healthcare professional.
Non-Interactive Stations: Where you are asked to check and documents errors such as those in prescriptions, labels or a Medical Administration Record (MAR).
