This exam usually happens the day after the Part 1 exam. It is a scenario-based exam, and it has 11 sample stations.\u00a0 It is set up as a sequence of short stations, each one mirrors actual events found in daily technician pharmacy work. Here, the actor portrays a patient, and a candidate has to interact with the patient and provide the right patient care. The examiner checks how you handle the patient with your technician knowledge, communication skills, and decision-making.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Purpose_of_PEBC_OSPE_Sample_Stations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Purpose of PEBC OSPE Sample Stations?\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sample stations exist, so candidates know what to expect before facing the real, secure exam.
