Acad Med. 2008 Aug;83(8):775-80 Authors: Varkey P, Natt N, Lesnick T, Downing S, Yudkowsky R PURPOSE: To determine the psychometric properties and validity of an OSCE to assess the competencies of Practice-Based Learning and Improvement (PBLI) and Systems-Based Practice (SBP) in graduate medical education. METHOD: An eight-station OSCE was piloted at the end of a three-week Quality Improvement elective for nine preventive medicine and endocrinology fellows at Mayo Clinic. The stations assessed performance in quality measurement, root cause analysis, evidence-based medicine, insurance systems, team collaboration, prescription errors, Nolan's model, and negotiation. Fellows' performance in each of the stations was assessed by three faculty experts using checklists and a five-point global competency scale. A modified Angoff procedure was used to set standards. Evidence for the OSCE's validity, feasibility, and acceptability was gathered. RESULTS: Evidence for content and response process validity was judged as excellent by institutional content experts. Interrater reliability of scores ranged from 0.85 to 1 for most stations. Interstation correlation coefficients ranged from -0.62 to 0.99, reflecting case specificity. Implementation cost was approximately $255 per fellow. A ...

Related Articles The use of a virtual patient case in an OSCE-based exam--a pilot study. Med Teach. 2008 May;30(3):e66-76 Authors: Courteille O, Bergin R, Stockeld D, Ponzer S, Fors U BACKGROUND: This study focuses on a skills test based clinical assessment where 118 fourth-year medical students at the four teaching hospitals of Karolinska Institutet participated in the same 12-module OSCE. The goal of one of the twelve examination modules was to assess the students' skills and ability to solve a virtual patient (VP) case (the ISP system), which included medical history taking, lab tests, physical examinations and suggestion of a preliminary diagnosis. AIMS: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of a VP as a possible tool for assessment of clinical reasoning and problem solving ability among medical students. The feeling of realism of the VP and its possible affective impact on the student's confidence were also investigated. METHOD: We observed and analysed students' reactions, engagement and performance (activity log files) during their interactive sessions with the simulation. An individual human assistant was provided along with the computer simulation and the videotaped interaction student/assistant was then analysed in detail and related to the students' outcomes. RESULTS: The results indicate possible advantages of using ISP-like systems for assessment. The VP was for instance able to reliably differentiate ...
