Abstract:
College of Physicians and Surgeons, Pakistan (CPSP) is a premier postgraduate medical institution of the country. It introduced Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in the 1990s, and later came up with its modi ed form known as Task Oriented Assessment of Clinical Skills (TOACS). This modi ed assessment has been incorporated in clinical examinations of its majority fellows programmes. Despite the use of TOACS for so many years at CPSP, it is surprising to note that this form of assessment does not appear in the literature. The objective of this viewpoint is to describe the rationale for the development of TOACS and to compare its structure and functions with OSCE.
