They are used both in undergraduate teaching situations, as well as in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) to assess students’ clinical exam and communication/interpersonal skills. Case scenarios typically represent the following domains:

• Physical examination
• Communication
• History taking
• Management
