Abstract:
Objective To design and conduct objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) in professional postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology, and to investigate the improvement measures for the teaching of professional postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology by analyzing the performance of postgraduates in OSCE. Methods In October 2017, OSCE was performed for postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology in the classes of 2016 and 2017 to evaluate their clinical ability. This OSCE consisted of the following four aspects: inquiry of standardized patients, basic practical skills in obstetrics and gynecology, utilization and interpretation of auxiliary examinations, and case analysis. The postgraduates were scored according to the following six items: doctor-patient communication skills, completeness of inquiry, basic practical skills in obstetrics and gynecology, utilization of auxiliary examinations, competence of clinical thinking, and mastery of medical knowledge. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis, and the t-test was used for comparison between groups . Results A total of 27 postgraduates participated in this OSCE . Among the six scoring items, completeness of inquiry had the lowest score (78 ±6), and utilization of auxiliary examinations had the highest score (85±3). Among the 27 postgraduates, 7 (25.9％) lacked doctor-patient communication skills, 6 (22.2％) showed serious problems in basic practical skills in obstetrics and gynecology, and 6 (22.2％) lacked the scientific thinking of clinical diagnosis. Conclusion In the training of professional postgraduate students in obstetrics and gynecology, doctor-patient communication skills and clinical thinking should be emphasized, and basic clinical skill training should be strengthened.
