This is an OSCE in internal medicine designed for 4th year medical students in medical college, developed in Umm Alqura University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Here, basic sciences are taught in the first 3 years and clinical years start from the 4th-6th year. The internal medicine course in the 4th year represents the first clinical encounter for our medical students. The aim of this exam is to assess the bedside skills of our students in history taking (H) and physical examination (P). Checklists were designed for 8 (H) stations and 15 (P) stations in internal medicine. Every expected action from students was put in these checklists with a corresponding mark. The examiner has to tick (true, prompted, or false) for each action based on the performance of the student. The term “prompted” should be ticked when a student needed a hint or a clue to answer correctly. Then there is a space for comments on each action. Markings: 80% is technique-based, 10% is knowledge-based and 10% is on organization and professionalism. Each student should be examined in 5 stations; 3 (P) and 2 (H) stations. Each is 10 minutes long. The exam is designed in blocks with 3 examiners for each block. Each block consists of 3 parts, where 3 students are examined for each part (9 students for each block). The examination stations do not change for the entire block. If there are two examinations committees (who can run two blocks at the same) a total of 18 students can be examined

This is a study guide designed for 4th year medical students aimed to help developing deep approach to learning. Our system is still traditional, lecture based and teacher-centered. The lectures are usually presented in a passive way to students. Students are not used to active learning. This study guide aimed to develop active learning skills in medical students with their first encounter with clinical training. The clinical years in our college start from the 4th — 6th years. Students are expected to read and work through this guide prior to their attendance to the specified time for the lecture. A whole group discussion is conducted with the entire class that covers the issues raised in this guide. The role of the moderator is to control discussions among students and to assure, with the students, that the objectives of the lecture have been achieved
