Sep 20, 2026

OSCE BLUEPRINT IID provides a structured framework mapping exam domains to clinical examinations and clinical skills across multiple specialties. It specifies key communication, history taking and explanation tasks, then details specialty-focused assessments such as gynecology pelvic examinations, obstetric trimester check-ups with pregnancy file/card guidance and ultrasound referral, and pediatric evaluations of acute illness, growth, development, and injury assessment. Additional sections cover child abuse microscopy, child and adolescent psychiatry assessment and risk evaluation, nephrology workup including hydration and urine/blood testing, and endocrinology history and examination with interpretation of blood results.
