标题：Análisis de la prueba de evaluación clínica objetiva estructurada (ECOE) de sexto curso en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche
摘要：Introduction The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a method of evaluating clinical competence with evidence of validity, objectivity, and reliability. In this study an analysis is presented of the OSCE by sixth-year medical students. Material and methods Cross-sectional study of the OSCE carried out in the School of Medicine of the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche in June 2016. Results The test involved 116 sixth-year students. The test consisted of 7 (35%) standardised patient stations, 5 (25%) reporting stations, 4 (20%) mannequin/procedure stations, and 4 (20%) structured oral exam-type stations. The median student score was 7.14 (interquartile range: 6.90-7.43). The median score for the students on the first day in the morning was 7.10. On the first day in the afternoon it was higher (7.14) and also higher (7.24) on the second day in the morning, but with no statistically significant differences. The station with the lowest score was the report station (6.41), and the station with the highest score was the mannequin/procedure station (7.88) (P < .001). In the standardised patient stations (score: 7.12), the results of the students were better in those where the patient was a doctor in training (7.52) than in those where the patient was an actor (6.82) (P < .001). The highest-ranking of competence was legal ethics and professionalism (8.56), followed by communication skills (7.79) (P < .001). Conclusions The analysis of the OSCE has led to understanding the nature of the test and the opportunities of improvement that it offers for future tests.
