Training in medicine requires development of skills by students, such as knowledge mobilization, skills, and attitudes to deal with situations on professional practice. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a strategy to assess competencies in simulated environments. This study, a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional one, aimed to assess the perception of students in the seventh and eighth period of a Medical program on some factors that may interfere with their performance during the OSCE. The sample, non-probabilistic for convenience, consisted of 101 students, representing 64.7% of the universe. Data collection was performed virtually through a Google Form, sent to students through their email addresses. It was concluded that the students' perception about the exam was positive, although adjustments are necessary, drawing attention to the feasibility of new editions of the OSCE in the Medical program.
