Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is an effective tool for learners' assessment that require hands-on performance. During the COVID-era, many schools decided to minimize all forms of in-person communication between faculty members and students to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission. We aimed to describe our experience in conducting physical OSCEs during the COVID-19 era. We also reported students' satisfaction during this time.
Descriptive cohort study by comparing the 2019-2020 cohort to the 2020-2021 cohort. Descriptive framework for the feasibility of conducting physical OSCEs in the college of pharmacy at King Saudi Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
There were no reported cases of COVID-19 transmission among students and faculty members during the OSCE assessments. Overall, the 2020-2021 cohort reported increased satisfaction compared to their peers in the 2019-2020 cohort; p < 0.05. We observed an increased need for coordination to ensure students' and staff safety while adopting machine learning applications as a public measure when possible.
Owing to the implementation of clear and strong measures, it was feasible to conduct OSCEs, and there were no reported cases of COVID-19 transmission. Other universities may adopt a similar approach so as to provide an optimal educational experience while ensuring the safety of their staff and faculty.
客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）是一种用于评估学习者实践操作能力的有效工具。在新冠疫情期间，许多学校决定尽量减少教职员工与学生之间的各种形式的面对面交流，以降低新冠病毒传播风险。我们旨在描述我们在新冠疫情期间进行体格检查OSCE的经验。我们还报告了这段时间学生的满意度。
通过将2019 - 2020学年的队列与2020 - 2021学年的队列进行比较的描述性队列研究。对沙特阿拉伯利雅得国王沙特·本·阿卜杜勒阿齐兹卫生科学大学药学院进行体格检查OSCE的可行性进行描述性框架研究。
在OSCE评估期间，学生和教职员工中未报告新冠病毒传播病例。总体而言，与2019 - 2020学年的同龄人相比，2020 - 2021学年的队列报告的满意度有所提高；p < 0.05。我们观察到在尽可能采用机器学习应用作为公共措施时，为确保学生和工作人员安全而进行协调的需求增加。
由于实施了明确且有力的措施，进行OSCE是可行的，且未报告新冠病毒传播病例。其他大学可能采用类似方法，以便在确保教职员工安全的同时提供最佳教育体验。
