Objectively Structured Clinical Evaluation - Toronto - Prometric

Description

Overview

Objectively Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE) Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) Bilingual Standardized Client

Prometric administers the Certification Examinations for registration as a Massage Therapist in Ontario. The examinations involve a Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) Examination and an Objectively Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE). The OSCE is administered in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, and is designed to assess candidates' knowledge, skill, and judgement in a simulated clinical setting.

RMT Standardized Clients portray clients that candidates interact with during the OSCE. RMT Standardized Clients are used in several OSCE stations involving assessment and treatment skills. Depending on the station(s) where you are assigned to perform, you will be subject to hands-on assessment (e.g., orthopedic testing, palpation, range of motion) and/or treatment skills (e.g., massage techniques, stretches, joint mobilization) by exam candidates seeking entry into the massage therapy profession. If assigned to a treatment station, you will be required to undress to your undergarments while receiving treatment; you will be covered by linens during the treatment process. Note: OSCE candidates are graduates from approved massage therapy programs who have not yet obtained a general certificate to practice massage therapy independently. RMT Standardized Clients take direction from OSCE trackers (i.e., supervisors) as well as from Prometric staff (e.g., Operations Manager, Content Specialist).
