In Spring 2020, a 3-station remote Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was implemented for first-year pharmacy students. The day following the remote OSCEs students answered three open-text prompts about the remote OSCE experience: (1)“I liked...”, (2)“I learned . . . ”, and (3)“I suggest . . . ”. Responses were open-coded and frequency counts were calculated to determine the most prevalent codes. Concept maps were created to visualize and explore connections between the codes. Out of 157 students, 156 students completed the reflection assignment, a 99.36% response rate. The three major themes in the Liked data were: Logistics (n = 65, 41.7%), Differences In-person Versus Remote (n = 59, 37.8%), and Skill Development (n = 43, 27.6%) . The three major themes in the Learned data were: Technology (n = 66, 42.3%), Communication (n = 58, 37.2%), and Skill Development (n = 56, 35.9%) . The three major themes in the Suggest data were: Logistics (n = 89, 57.1%), Technology (n = 31, 19.9%), and Continuation of Remote OSCE (n = 31, 19.9%) . Overall, the remote OSCE experience was well-received, and students described it as applicable to their future pharmacy practice. Future work should explore the design, implementation, and outcomes of remote OSCEs.  \nKeywords: OSCE; telehealth; remote; student perceptions  \nReceived: 30 January 2021  \nAccepted: 16 March 2021  \nPublished: 18 March 2021  \nPublisher's Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.  \nCopyright: © 2021 by the authors.

Introduction  \nThe Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is widely used in schools of pharmacy across the United States and internationally [1] . Harden defined the OSCE asan “approach to the assessment of clinical competence in which the components of the competence are assessed in a planned or structured way with attention being paid to the objectivity of the examination” [2] . OSCEs are a valued form of performance-based assessment in health sciences education because the focus is on evaluating both clinical skills and knowledge and typically involves students rotating through a series of stations where one or two aspects of competence are assessed at each station [2] .  \nIn the spring of 2020, during the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools and universities quickly transitioned their teaching strat","cbCailqE5km2jDTB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailqE5km2jDTB","pdf",390375,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What remote OSCE format was implemented for first-year pharmacy students in Spring 2020?\",\"answer\":\"A 3-station remote Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was implemented for first-year pharmacy students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students’ reflections about the remote OSCE analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Students answered three open-text prompts, and responses were open-coded with frequency counts; concept maps were used to visualize connections among codes.\"},{\"question\":\"What major themes did students report for what they liked, learned, and suggested?\",\"answer\":\"For “liked,” logistics, differences versus in-person, and skill development were most prominent.
