Exam Administration

HSERC manages various high stakes and large-scale competency exams including Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs), Objective Structured Practical Exams (OSPEs), large scale simulation events, and Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs).

Exam candidates may be students ready for licensure, practitioners maintaining accreditation, or international graduates seeking Canadian credentials. These exams are used to assess clinical competence at all levels of health education, from first year to licensure in Canada.

To ensure our exam procedures adhere to both provincial and national standards, our project coordinators work in collaboration with; Regulatory Bodies, National Examination Boards, and other Education Institutions and their appointed Chief Examiners, Deputy Registrars, Chief Administrators and Technical Advisors.
