Abstract: The clinical skills faculties were interested in improving the student’s assessment methodology, but they needed more expertise in this area. A mixed approach using a virtual environment (Moodle platform) and face to face meetings was proposed to develop an OSCE workshop and to prepare the exam as part of a Faculty Development Program. Teachers recognized the importance of the faculty development program and were engaged in the process.

Key words: OSCE, faculty development, assessment
