Materials and Methods:
The study was used as a descriptive model to measure the reliability of the assignment, the difficulty
factor of tasks, and the Hoffsten’s scores based on the tasks and performance of each station and
compared with the indicators.
Results:
Based on Hoffsten’s study on the success rate of examiners at the 5 stations, the Hoffsten’s score
level of clinical examination was 68 percent, the physical examination station was 64 percent, the
station’s diagnostic level was 71 percent, the laboratory was 70 percent and the nursing station was
70 percent.
Conclusion
At each clinical trial, the differential diagnosis of each individual clinical trial, clinical interview, nursing
station and visual diagnostic station (DF> 95), at the laboratory and at the physical examination
station, assess the student with a higher grade of difficulty factor (DF> 80) to the Hoffsten’s score of
the basic clinical skills exam is set to be 70 percent.
