Introduced in Korea in 1994, the number of medical schools using Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and standardized patients (SPs) has been steadily increasing. Although OSCE is accepted as an effective teaching and evaluation tool in Korea, many challenges in applying OSCE remain. These problems stem mainly from differences in the educational environment and infrastructure in medical schools between different countries. To reduce trial and error cost inefficiencies and to help accelerate the adaptation process, sharing experiences at all levels of applying OSCE to non-Western settings would be valuable. The authors describe how and to what extent the OSCE has been applied to the Korean medical education system. Additionally, the elements that should be in place for OSCE to successfully transform the national licensure examination into a high stakes examination are described.
1994年引入韩国后，采用客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）和标准化病人（SPs）的医学院数量一直在稳步增加。尽管OSCE在韩国被公认为是一种有效的教学和评估工具，但在应用OSCE方面仍存在许多挑战。这些问题主要源于不同国家医学院校教育环境和基础设施的差异。为了降低试错成本低效率并帮助加速适应过程，分享在非西方环境中应用OSCE各级别的经验将很有价值。作者描述了OSCE在韩国医学教育系统中的应用方式和程度。此外，还描述了OSCE要成功将国家执照考试转变为高风险考试应具备的要素。
