Universal OSCE Station Checklist
The one checklist that works for every station — opening, structure, ICE, safety netting, and closing. Print it, stick it to your desk.
Covers the full 8-minute station arc: entering the room, introduction, core station work, ICE framework, summarising, safety netting, and closing. Works for history, examination, and communication stations.
Cardiovascular Examination Checklist
Every step of the cardiovascular exam from general inspection to auscultation — with common findings and how to present them.
Systematic CVS exam: hands, JVP, carotid pulse, precordium (inspect/palpate/auscultate), lung bases, peripheral oedema. Includes a murmur quick-reference table and a presentation template.
History Taking Framework
PC → HPC → SOCRATES → PMH → Drugs → Allergies → FH → SH → ICE — the full skeleton for any history station on one page.
Full history skeleton with example phrases for each section. Includes the SOCRATES grid for pain/symptom analysis, MJ THREADS mnemonic for past medical history, CAGE for alcohol, and ICE prompts.
Clinical Examination Master Checklist
Cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, and neurological exam sequences on one double-sided sheet — ideal for last-minute revision.
All four core examination sequences side by side: CVS, respiratory, abdominal, and neurological (upper + lower limb). UMN vs LMN comparison, DANISH mnemonic for cerebellar signs, percussion findings guide.
OSCE Revision Flashcards
Key mnemonics, red flags, and examiner questions for 10 core OSCE stations — cut out and carry in your white coat pocket.
10 stations: chest pain, shortness of breath, breaking bad news (SPIKES), consent, abdominal pain, sepsis/ABCDE, ECG interpretation, prescribing, presenting findings, and angry patient. Each card has mnemonics, red flags, and typical examiner questions.
Checklists tell you what to do. TalkOSCE makes you do it.
Reading a checklist is the first step. Practising out loud with a real AI patient is what actually builds the muscle memory and confidence for your OSCE.
Start practising freeFrequently Asked Questions
Are these OSCE checklists really free?
Yes — completely free, no email address, no sign-up, no paywall. Download and print as many copies as you like for your own revision.
Which year of medical school are these for?
The checklists are written for UK medical students in years 3–5 preparing for OSCEs or the UKMLA clinical assessment. The content maps to standard UK medical school mark schemes.
Can I print these and share them with my study group?
Yes — they are free to reproduce for personal revision use. They are A4 print-ready and designed to look clean in black and white as well as colour.
What format are the downloads?
All files are PDF. They open in any PDF viewer and print on standard A4 paper. No special software is needed.
Do these match real OSCE mark schemes?
The checklists are based on standard UK OSCE mark scheme structures used at most medical schools. They cover the same domains: clinical technique, communication, safety netting, and ICE.
How do I use these alongside TalkOSCE practice sessions?
Print the relevant checklist before each practice session. After your AI patient scenario, check your performance against the sheet to identify what you missed. This closed-loop approach is one of the fastest ways to improve.
