Abstract: Objective Structured Teaching Encounters (OSTE) are derived from the more familiar Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), but the focus is on the activity of the teacher/trainer rather than the student/trainee. A teaching encounter between a teacher/trainer and a simulated student/trainee is observed by colleagues, and the teacher/trainer receives feedback from the observers and the student/trainee. It is designed as a way of evaluating a teacher's response to an encounter with a student or trainee, giving the teacher feedback on what they do well, and suggesting ways to overcome any difficulties OSTEs allow for teachers at every level to reflect on their teaching encounters, to demonstrate their skills and identify their deficits, and to help build a community of professional practice. This guide will help you to decide whether or not to use OSTEs, and how best to use them in your context. We provide you with protocols, examples, and point towards the evidence.
