Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiology
  • Performance Assessment

Background:

  • Assessing radiology resident reporting skills is crucial for patient safety and effective communication.
  • Traditional assessment methods may not fully capture the nuances of clinical reporting proficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) for evaluating radiology resident reporting skills.
  • To investigate the relationship between resident experience and reporting performance.

Main Methods:

  • A performance-based assessment was designed using an OSCE format.
  • 29 radiology residents and 5 faculty members dictated reports for 20 radiographic cases within a 1-hour timeframe.
  • Data were analyzed using ANOVA and linear trend tests to correlate experience with performance.

Main Results:

  • Significant positive correlations were found between resident experience and the number of cases completed, well-specified impressions, and urgent/discrepant findings noted.
  • A clear linear trend demonstrated improved reporting performance with increased experience across all measured variables.

Conclusions:

  • Reporting skills in radiology residents demonstrably increase with program experience.
  • The developed OSCE is a valid and reliable tool for assessing radiology resident reporting competency.
  • This assessment method provides valuable feedback for resident training and program evaluation.
