Two hundred and twenty nine final year medical students were assessed in paediatrics using an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) and a traditional viva voce examination, and the results were compared with other assessments of the students made during and at the end of the undergraduate course. Results of the OSCE correlated positively with other forms of assessment and more strongly than the viva voce examination. There was little correlation between the OSCE and viva results. Eighty per cent of students felt the OSCE to be a fairer system than other examinations and all external examiners commented favourably on it. An OSCE is an acceptable alternative to traditional means of examination in paediatrics and may be superior in certain aspects.
采用客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)和传统口试对229名医学专业最后一年的学生进行儿科评估,并将结果与本科课程期间及结束时对学生的其他评估进行比较。OSCE的结果与其他评估形式呈正相关,且比口试的相关性更强。OSCE和口试结果之间几乎没有相关性。80%的学生认为OSCE比其他考试更公平,所有外部考官对此都给予了好评。OSCE是儿科传统考试方式的一种可接受的替代方法,在某些方面可能更具优势。
