About

Welcome Freshers!

Congratulations on your place studying Medicine at Barts and the London. Part of your medical training will involve you learning how to examine patients for signs and symptoms of disease (clinical skills). After your training you will be expected to assess and examine patients in an exam called the OSCE, which you must pass in order to pass the year.

It will be like no other exam you have sat before and to do well in it you need to not only practice but to know your clinical skills inside out!

CLASS (Clinical Learning and Associated Skills Society) was set up so that you can get support and teaching to help you tackle these novel exams.

What we run:

Peer-taught sessions on communication skills, examinations and procedures
Buddy schemes to help you practice OSCE skills in small groups
Barts' most revered Mock OSCE to help you demonstrate and practice your skills in a simulated exam scenario

Being proficient in Clinical Skills won’t just help you do well in your exams- it will serve you well through your entire career!
