Artifact 02

Virtual OSCE Examiner

A four-part simulated OSCE station: take a history from an AI patient, interpret investigation results, state your differential, and describe your management — then get a rubric-based examiner debrief covering all four tasks.

Problem

Realistic OSCE practice is scarce; students rarely get structured, on-demand feedback across history, investigations, differential, and management.

Role

Designed the case, the in-character patient and examiner prompts, the multi-phase dialogue layer, and the rubric debrief.

Artifact

Take a 10-minute history, then work through results, differential, and management with the AI examiner. Get a graded debrief on all four phases.

Limit

Coverage against a checklist is not a calibrated mark. One scripted case (appendicitis, 20F), not a validated assessment tool.

How to read this

A teaching demonstrator, not an assessment.

The point is deliberate practice with honest framing: the patient will not hand you the diagnosis during the history, and the debrief marks coverage — not whether you were right, and not a real OSCE score.

Coverage, not a mark

The checklist scores whether you asked about each rubric area and covered the expected content in each phase, graded by a language model. That is not a calibrated mark, a pass/fail, or a measure of clinical safety.

One scripted case

A single 20-year-old woman with appendicitis (Sophie Bungard). It is not a question bank, not interchangeable between sessions, and cannot substitute for varied clinical exposure.

The patient is a model

It follows a fixed case sheet and is told never to volunteer a diagnosis during history, but it can still be inconsistent or err. It is no substitute for a trained simulated patient or bedside teaching.

Diagnosis confirmed later

The AI patient will not name the diagnosis. The examiner confirms it in Phase 4 (management) as part of the structured flow — this is intentional, not a shortcut.

Out of scope: physical examination · multiple stations · saved attempts · validated scoring · real clinical advice.
