The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is being widely used for assessment of skills in dental education around the world. In India, OSCE awareness is rising, and a few exploratory attempts have been made in its implementation. This article describes use of a five-station mini-OSCE for formative assessment of dental diagnostic and radiographic skills in an undergraduate curriculum. Besides gaining experience in OSCEs, the purpose of this project was to study their validity, objectivity, feasibility, acceptability to students and faculty, and impact on student performance. The mini-OSCE was found to be a fairly valid and reliable tool for formative assessment, though it required more planning, preparation, and resources than other means of assessment. A specially developed orientation module improved its feasibility. The nineteen students perceived it to be a meaningful examination and a fair method due to uniformity of tasks and time allocation; they found the scoring to be transparent and objective. The specific and immediate feedback received was appreciated by both students and faculty members.
客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）在全球范围内被广泛用于评估牙科教育中的技能。在印度，OSCE 的认知度正在提高，并且已经进行了一些探索性的尝试。本文描述了在本科课程中使用五站迷你 OSCE 对牙科诊断和放射技能进行形成性评估的情况。除了获得 OSCE 经验外，该项目的目的还在于研究其有效性、客观性、可行性、对学生和教师的可接受性以及对学生表现的影响。迷你 OSCE 被发现是一种相当有效的形成性评估工具，尽管它比其他评估方法需要更多的计划、准备和资源。专门开发的定向模块提高了其可行性。19 名学生认为它是一次有意义的考试，也是一种公平的方法，因为任务和时间分配是统一的；他们发现评分是透明和客观的。学生和教师都很欣赏收到的具体和即时反馈。
