This study evaluated an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for pharmaceutical students. Standardized checklists and evaluator training are crucial for consistent assessment of clinical skills and attitudes in pharmacy education.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Skills Assessment

Context:

  • Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is vital for assessing pharmaceutical students' clinical abilities.
  • A pilot OSCE was conducted with three stations: dispensing powdered medicine, patient reception, and drug counseling.
  • Involved 25 students and 6 instructors, with students evaluating peers and instructors assessing performance.

Purpose:

  • To discuss subject selection and evaluation methods for an OSCE in pharmaceutical sciences.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of a newly designed OSCE checklist.
  • To identify areas for improvement in OSCE design and implementation for pharmacy students.

Summary:

  • Performance time exceeded limits in dispensing and drug counseling stations.

  • Quantitative evaluation showed less variability than qualitative evaluation, with instructors being more severe than students.
  • Overall evaluation correlated significantly with qualitative but not quantitative scores, highlighting the importance of skill and attitude assessment.

    • Impact:

    • Recommendations include enforcing time limits, standardizing evaluations through training, and selecting appropriate assessment tools for each OSCE station.
    • Findings emphasize the need for robust evaluation systems to accurately measure pharmaceutical students' clinical competence.
    • Improved OSCE design can enhance the standardization and effectiveness of clinical skills assessment in pharmacy education.
