Abstract:
We participated in the “Advanced Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) Osaka Trial, ” which was part of the 10th Medical Education Seminar and Workshop in Osaka. OSCEs have been used to assess students' clinical ability before the clinical clerkship program, where the medical interview and the medical examination are introduced as basic clinical skills. The Advanced OSCE is used to assess students' clinical ability after they have done clinical clerkships; it will soon be a part of the national board examination. In the present trial, the students and residents took the Advanced OSCE with 6 themes: pharyngeal pain, palpitations, dyspnea, abdominal pain, hypertension, and cardiac arrest. We examined questionnaires completed by students and residents just after they had taken the Advanced OSCE. We believe that the use of simulators is important for medical students and residents to improve their clinical skills and that appropriate feedback is also extremely important.
