School of Medicine led by the Department of Family Medicine successfully organised a 1.5 days preparatory course entitled “IMU Family Medicine Postgraduate OSCE Preparatory Course 2020” on 27 September 2020 and 04 October 2020. The Department of Family Medicine at IMU has been running similar courses multiple times since 2012. It has become one of IMU’s signature educational CME events.
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the format of the course was changed this year from face to face to online. Despite these changes in delivery mode this year, the demand for the course remained high. This preparatory course emphasizes on the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) format of the Conjoint MAFP/ FRACGP Part 2 Examination which is organised by the
Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia. The course saw a total of 15 OSCE cases involving various examination formats being conducted and discussed.

As per previous years, feedback from participants were extremely positive.
