Brief Analysis of Application of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in Graduation Exams of Clinical Medical Students
Previous clinical medical teaching evaluation is deficient in objective clinical practical skill evaluation system, which causes students’ learning focus usually to be placed upon “theoretical” knowledge in learning clinical skills, whereas practical clinical skill usually does not conform with the score of evaluation and is unable to adapt rapidly to the independent clinical work after graduation
Harden from Dundee University in Britain in 1975, in which an objective method was used to evaluate clinical working capacity, and its basic idea is “a test based on operation”
Summary
OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a sort of evaluation method which was proposed by Dr R.M. Harden from Dundee University in Britain in 1975, in which an objective method was used to evaluate clinical working capacity, and its basic idea is “a test based on operation”. OSCE is a kind of evaluation method which uses a model, standardized patients and even patients to test the clinical working capacity of medical students in the situation of simulating a clinical occasion. It is a sort of method of comprehensive capacity evaluation with equal emphasis of knowledge, skill and attitude. OSCE reflects the evaluation model based on capacity and has important orientation effect upon education and cultivation of medical students
