As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing the quality of pharmaceutical education and clinical training, the Faculty of Health Sciences at the American University of Madaba (AUM), represented by the Department of Pharmacy, organized the inaugural Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The exam was conducted under the direct supervision of the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Dr. Wesam Ammari.

The academic planning, organization, and supervision of the examination were led by Dr. Ibrahim Al Deeb and Dr. Amani Ayyash. A total of 27 pharmacy students participated in the OSCE, which assessed their clinical and professional competencies, as well as their readiness to meet the evolving demands of the pharmaceutical workforce.

The OSCE is widely recognized as a highly effective and standardized assessment tool that evaluates students’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge in simulated clinical settings. It also enhances essential competencies, including effective communication, safe medication dispensing, and evidence-based therapeutic decision-making, all of which contribute significantly to improving patient safety and healthcare outcomes.

At the conclusion of the examination, the President of the University, Professor Dr. Adi Arida, honored the participating academic and pharmaceutical staff in the presence of the Head of the Department of Pharmacy, Dr. Islam Hamad. He also expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the external participants who served as examiners and standardized patients, commending their valuable contributions to ensuring the highest standards of accuracy in simulating clinical practice and supporting the success of this distinguished academic initiative.

This initiative reflects the vision and directives of the University President and aligns with the University's strategic commitment to graduating highly qualified pharmacists who demonstrate professionalism, clinical competence, and the ability to compete effectively in both local and regional healthcare sectors.
