Is it worth it? A look at the costs and benefits of an OSCE for second-year medical students.

Abstract:

:For the past two years, the Bowman Gray School of Medicine has used an Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) to measure the performance of 117 first- and second-year medical students at the end of introductory courses on differential and physical diagnosis. Given the surprisingly high costs of conducting the OSCE ($1300 for supplies and 527 person-hours of donated time), data about the format's perceived benefits were collected. All of the faculty involved in the examination who responded to a questionnaire (80%) reported that it was worth the time they had volunteered to evaluate students by observation and that the format should be used in the future. The majority of student examinees also reported that the OSCE format was appropriate for the course and should continue to be used.
