    Mine was in March in 1st year (PN examination). Not sure if we have others in 2nd, 3rd yr.

    Swifty - I think it stands for Objective Structured Clinical Assessment. Basically you have to carry out a task on a real woman while being assessed by mentors and tutors. You then get quizzed about the theory afterwards. Scary stuff! xx
