Observed structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are a common method of assessment within higher education to prepare for the advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) role. This article reviews a wide range of literature relating to OSCE assessment in the healthcare arena, from an ANP, interprofessional and advanced clinical practice perspective. Theories underpinning OSCE and advanced nursing roles are explored, with relevant supporting literature indicating how established OSCEs can become integrated with other methods to improve outcomes for this level of practice. Alternative assessments are explored with specific reference to the context of the education delivered, and the suitability for higher education today.
