In an attempt to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional final examination an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was introduced into the final examination in surgery at the University of Dundee. In this approach are tested at 20 stations through which the candidates rotate. At some stations the students are assessed, by an examiner using a check list, on their ability to take a history or examine a patient. At other stations objective questions are used to assess the students' findings and their interpretation, his (or her) management of the patient, and his assessment of laboratory investigations. This approach to the final examination is more reliable and more valid than traditional methods and has practical advantages over them.
为克服传统期末考试的弊端,邓迪大学在外科期末考试中引入了客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)。采用这种方法,考生需在20个考站轮转接受测试。在一些考站,考官会使用检查表评估学生采集病史或检查患者的能力。在其他考站,则通过客观题来评估学生的检查结果及解读、对患者的处理以及对实验室检查结果的评估。这种期末考试方式比传统方法更可靠、更有效,且具有实际优势。
