To add an objective standardized clinical examination (OSCE) to a nonprescription medication elective and assess the impact on students' knowledge, skills, and satisfaction.
A nonprescription medicine elective was altered to incorporate more active learning and skill-assessment measures. Small group recitation sessions were added to review didactic material from a prior required nonprescription medicine course, and an objective standardized clinical examination was used to assess skills.
Thirty-four students completed the 3-case OSCE with an average grade of 88%. The standardized patients expressed differences in their satisfaction with the student pharmacists' care by ranking the students' overall performance. Students' grades for the course and course evaluations were similar to the previous year.
The addition of the OSCE to the elective course provided students with an enhanced mechanism for evaluation of their self-care education and skill development.
在非处方药物选修课程中增加客观标准化临床考试（OSCE），并评估其对学生知识、技能和满意度的影响。
对非处方药物选修课程进行了修改，纳入了更多的主动学习和技能评估措施。增加了小组讨论环节，以复习先前必修的非处方药物课程的教学材料，并且使用客观标准化临床考试来评估技能。
34 名学生完成了 3 个病例的 OSCE，平均成绩为 88%。标准化患者通过对学生整体表现进行排名，对学生的护理满意度表示出差异。学生对该课程的成绩和课程评估与前一年相似。
在选修课程中增加 OSCE 为学生提供了一个增强的自我保健教育和技能发展评估机制。
