Introduction

OSCE in ENT Practice is an exam-focused resource designed to help medical students, residents, and postgraduate trainees master the clinical skills required for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) in otorhinolaryngology. Covering the full spectrum of ENT examination and assessment, the book provides a structured approach to clinical stations, enabling learners to build confidence, improve clinical reasoning, and perform effectively in both examinations and everyday practice.

The book is organised into dedicated sections covering the examination of the ear, nose, oral cavity and oropharynx, larynx, and neck. Each section presents commonly encountered OSCE scenarios with a systematic approach to history taking, physical examination, interpretation of clinical findings, and patient communication. A dedicated section on response stations enhances problem-solving and decision-making skills, while an extensive collection of clinical photographs and instruments familiarises readers with the visual recognition of common ENT conditions and essential diagnostic equipment.

Foreword

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in ENT Practice has become an essential component undergraduate and postgraduate medical training, especially in surgical specialties like Otorhinolaryngology. It not only evaluates clinical knowledge but also assesses communication, problem-solving, procedural skills, and the ability to apply concepts in real-world scenarios. As ENT practice continues to evolve with advancing technologies and evidence-based protocols, the need for structured, concise, and clinically relevant OSCE preparation material has become more important than ever.

This book has written by Dr. (Prof.) Shraddha Jain, Dr. (Prof. & HOD) Prasad T. Deshmukh, Dr. (Prof.) Sagar Gaurkar, Dr. Chandraveer Singh and Dr. Farhat Khan, been developed to bridge that gap-offering learners a clear, systematic, and practical approach to OSCE stations in ENT. Each chapter aims to simplify complex clinical situations into easily digestible formats, enabling students to feel confident during examinations and in clinical practice. With focused checklists, key points, flowcharts, and case-based discussions, the book serves as a reliable companion for trainees preparing for examinations as well as for clinicians wishing to refresh essential skills.

I commend the author for creating a resource that is both comprehensive and user-friendly. I am confident that this book will significantly enhance the preparedness of students and contribute to better clinical understanding and patient care in the field of ENT.
