“…Regarding gender of examinees, the differences in scores were not significant although a trend for women to outscore men was noted. Aggregate data from all CSA projects in Catalonia (total 208 examinees) using the same cases have demonstrated that the latter trend is statistically significant (Martinez‐Carretero et al 1996).…”

Previous projects (Combell I & II) to assess clinical skills were conducted in medical schools in Catalonia, in order to introduce a model of such an assessment using standardized patients (SP). The aim of this study (Combell III) was to measure selected characteristics of our model. Seventy-three medical students in the final year at the Bellvitge teaching unit of the University of Barcelona participated in a clinical skills assessment (CSA) project that used 10 SP cases. The mean group scores for the four components of clinical skills for each day of testing were studied, and ratings for each student in the 10 sequential encounters were checked. The study also compared the clinical skills scores with their academic grades. The total case mean score (mean score of history-taking, physical examination and patient notes scores) was 51.9%, and the mean score for communication skills was 63.6%. The clinical skills scores over the 8 testing days showed no day-to-day differences. The study did not find differences among the sequential encounters for each student (training effect). There was a lack of correlation between clinical skills scores and academic grades. The project demonstrated the feasibility of the method for assessing clinical skills, confirmed its reliability, and showed that there is no correlation between scores with this method and academic examinations that mainly reflect knowledge.
