The clinical skills of sophomore medical students at the University of Arkansas are being assessed through the use of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). This exam was developed in order to better standardize the evaluation of practical clinical skills. The exam uses standardized patients, who are lay people trained to accurately and consistently portray a patient encounter. Faculty members at UAMS authored clinical cases for 20 patient encounters that test history taking, physical examination and communication skills. Each student interacts with the patient while being assessed in a standardized way, and then is given educational feedback by a faculty member. Students who do not pass the exam, undergo a remediation program prior to entering the junior year.
阿肯色大学大二医学生的临床技能正在通过客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）进行评估。开发这项考试是为了更好地规范对实际临床技能的评估。该考试使用标准化病人，这些病人是经过培训能够准确且一致地模拟医患会面的非专业人员。阿肯色大学医学科学学院的教员编写了20个医患会面的临床病例，用于测试病史采集、体格检查和沟通技巧。每个学生在接受标准化评估的同时与病人互动，然后由教员给予教育反馈。未通过考试的学生在进入大三之前要参加一个补救课程。
