Please be advised that masking is now optional for candidates participating in the OSPE and OSCE examinations. Candidates who elect to wear a mask are responsible for ensuring that their communication remains clear and understandable throughout the exam. If a mask is worn, it must be the PEBC-supplied ASTM Level 2/3 mask with earloops provided at registration on the day of the exam.
This masking policy update will take effect beginning with the February 2026 OSCE exam.
