In the age of GenAI, when answers can be generated at the click of a button, how can we truly know what students can do? The answer: make learning visible! Building on the strengths of traditional Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) in pharmacy education, where clinical reasoning, practical technique, and professional judgement are demonstrated in authentic, observable moments, we have pivoted to Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSPEs). These structured assessments are more than exams; they showcase competence in real-world contexts, bridging the gap between knowledge and professional practice. By engaging students in decision-making, technical proficiency, and communication within real-world scenarios, OSPEs develop not only academic achievement, but practice-ready professionals. They ensure our graduates are equipped with the confidence, resilience, and adaptability needed in a skills-based, rapidly evolving pharmaceutical landscape. In this session, we will showcase OSPEs in action and provide clear, practical guidance on how to successfully implement them effectively in pharmaceutical science education.
