Abstract:
In 1995, an experimental examination consisting of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and multiple choice questions (MCQs) regarding physical examinations was held by a research group conducted by Prof. Saichi HOSODA, Tokyo Women's Medical College, and subsidized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Sixty-two fifth-year students (volunteers) were assessed their skills in interviewing, physical examination, and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation at five stations, by faculty members from several universities using detailed checklists. The group found: 1) No correlation was observed between OSCE and MCQ tests, 2) Two-ranked checklists improved the reliability of the evaluation, 3) Examinees showed great interest in the method and expressed a hope that OSCE might be introduced into undergraduate education. OSCE will encourage the learning activities of students.
