The people section concludes with trained examiners and rehearsed simulated patients entering a room. StudyDrome Exam Manager gives each of them a screen for that room and nothing else. The examiner app opens on one station at one event. It shows the checklist with its scale, the critical rule, and the global rating. It moves candidate by candidate. It keeps working when the network drops mid-station. It ends with a review screen and a deliberate finish.
The product page scoring an OSCE station in the examiner app walks through the screen. The wider OSCE model, from circuit to standard setting, is on OSCE exams in StudyDrome. This page connects the section's decisions to what the examiner sees.
One station, one screen
The briefing page asks that an examiner opens their station and nothing else. In StudyDrome, an examiner logs in, opens Exams, and chooses Assess on their allocated station and event. The screen that opens has no menu and no chrome. It is the station's checklist, the candidates allocated to that examiner, and the controls to move between them: Previous Candidate, Next Candidate, Review. Station media, such as a results sheet or an image, opens in a lightbox from the same screen.
The checklist, the scale and the critical rule
The marking scheme becomes the screen's content. Items appear in order under their section headers. Each carries the scoring scale the station uses, whether one scale for the whole station or one per item. A critical item shows its rule next to it as "Critical: Fail if ≤ {threshold}", so the examiner sees the policy while scoring rather than remembering it from the briefing. Clear Score removes a score the examiner entered by mistake.
The global rating sits on the same screen. It is entered after the checklist and never computed from it, as the marking scheme page requires. Alongside it is a global comment. The exam sets a minimum comment length. The screen enforces it with the message "Comment must be at least {n} characters". A required comment that is missing is refused with "Comment is required". Save Comment stores it. That is how the written-feedback outcome from the training program becomes a rule the screen applies for every candidate.
Three roles
The simulated patient program asks that a simulated patient's rating and an observer's notes stay separate from the examiner's judgment. StudyDrome gives each person in the room one of three roles: Examiner, Simulated Patient, or Observer. The role decides what the person's screen collects. It also decides how the exam-day documents brief them. A simulated patient's instrument is its own record, not a line on the examiner's sheet.
Resilient to connection drops mid-station
Exam rooms have bad wireless. Every scoring action that fails to reach the server is queued in the browser, keyed to the examiner's session. It is replayed automatically when the network returns. A banner counts what is waiting: "1 unsaved change pending sync" or "{n} unsaved changes pending sync", with a manual retry. If the examiner tries to leave, the screen says the changes are saved locally and will sync when they return. Finishing is blocked while anything is pending. A station can never be closed on scores that exist on one laptop only.
The boundary stated plainly: this is resilience to connection drops during a station the examiner has already opened. The examiner opens the exam with a connection, and the queue lives in the browser for that session. It is not an app that runs with no network at all, and there is no native mobile app: the examiner app is the responsive web app on whatever device the room provides.
Review and finish
Before closing a station, the examiner sees a review screen. It lists every candidate they were allocated, with View Candidate to jump back into any of them. Finish Exam is a confirmed act. The standard confirmation says scores will be finalized and cannot be changed. If candidates were never assessed, the confirmation indicates how many will remain unassessed. An examiner cannot finish a half-scored station by accident. Once finished, the examiner cannot reopen the station. Reopening is a manager's action from the monitoring screen, which the delivery section covers.
What the monitoring report gets
The examiner variance page asks for every score captured completely, with the examiner and the station attached. The app records each score against the examiner's session, the station, and the candidate. The completeness rules above mean there are no missing ratings to chase. The reports that compare examiners on the same station read from that record, and the quality section covers them.
What stays with people
The app shows the rule; the examiner applies it. It records the global rating; the examiner judges it. It keeps the simulated patient's rating separate; the program decides whether to collect one. Training, calibration, and the briefing happen before the screen is opened. What StudyDrome adds is visibility: every one of those decisions is on the screen at the moment it is applied. And every score reaches the record.
