Assessment: New trends and challenges facing medical and healthcare education

Publication

Abstract

The workshop will cover general concepts of modern new trends and challenges in the assessment of students in various medical and healthcare courses. Different methodological approaches will be explained together with examples from practice.

The main attention will be paid to the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) as the gold standard how to assess the clinical competences of students. Both the theoretical and practical point of view will be presented.

A real usage of the OSCE concept in practice at the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University will be demonstrated using an integration platform called the SIMUportfolio. The entire process of OSCE examination planning, definition of stations, running of individual exams and final evaluation will be shown.

The participants will observe a real OSCE station, including work with checklists and a debriefing session, where all opinions will be discussed in detail.
