To the authors' knowledge, this is the first OSCE for medical students designed to deepen their understanding of structural competency by embedding the experience into an existing course using the framework. Future work should explore how this curriculum affects students' attitudes toward structurally vulnerable patients. With structural competency as an LCME requirement, the use of OSCEs may give educators a means to teach and assess fundamental concepts.
