They aren’t House-style, but trainee doctors in the UK take OSCEs (objective structured clinical exams). Someone pretends to be a patient and the doctor has to take the case history, read an x-ray appropriately, or whatever the scenario demands. Although OSCEs test real clinical skills, conversations with doctors suggest there’s a lot of memorisation and exam technique. But what really surprised me are the portfolios — trainee doctors keep track of things like procedures done, so they can present a portfolio at job interviews.
