Development, implementation, and evaluation of an integrated multidisciplinary Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in primary health care settings within limited resources

Abstract

After having this experience, we have a critical mass of faculty members trained on blueprinting and station writing and a group of trained assessors, facilitators and role players. Also there is a state of awareness among students on how to proceed in this type of OSCE which renders future implementation more feasible.

Toward a more professional and practical medical education: a novel Central European approach

“…Modular examinations aim at assessing the student’s detailed knowledge and skills acquired in the respective modules. Furthermore, there are Objective Structured Clinical Examination 11 assessments in this part, in which candidates are examined on a one-to-one basis with one examiner and either real or simulated patients. Candidates rotate through various stations.…”

Comparing objective structured clinical examinations and traditional clinical examinations in the summative evaluation of final-year medical students

“…[ 14 ] Researchers have shown that it is possible to organize a good OSCE with very limited resources. [ 27 28 ] Limitation of cost did not prevent the Department of Surgery from organizing a successful OSCE.…”

“…The major reliability problems of LCE are the case-specificity (difference in cases), differences between examiners and variability in the aspects that surround the encounter [6]. We use objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) as a resource-intensive assessment method instead of LCE [7].…”
