Volunteer DVMs needed to grade OSCEs

The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine is looking for DVMs to assist with the grading of veterinary student OSCEs. OSCEs are objective structured clinical examinations that are designed to test veterinary students' clinical skills performance and competencies. Clinical skills that veterinary students are going to be tested on range from small animal specific, large animal specific as well as general skills. 

What we are looking for are DVMs to access the student’s skills. You do not have to have any prior experience nor do you need to have any prior experience in the skills that you will be accessing.  We will provide training so that you are prepared. Training will take place on the station that you will be examining before the veterinary students arrive.

We are looking for examiners to volunteer from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 12:30 to 5 p.m. or the entire day.  Examiners and students will be required to wear PPE and follow all University, state and federal guidelines regarding COVID-19. Examiners are welcome to wear goggles, face shields or other PPE if desired. 

Exam dates are the following – 

February 25 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
March 4 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
March 9 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
