Primary care physicians in training can now use Objective Structured Video Examinations (OSVEs) to assess geriatric competencies. These video-based tools integrate geriatrics into residency education, enhancing physician training.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Geriatric Medicine
Competency-Based Assessment

Background:

Primary care physicians require specialized geriatric training.
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandates competency assessment.
Existing training methods may not adequately address geriatric care needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop innovative educational materials for primary care physicians in training.
To create competency-linked, video-based assessment tools for geriatrics.
To integrate geriatrics into residency programs effectively.

Main Methods:

Developed geriatric-focused Objective Structured Video Examinations (OSVEs).
Modeled OSVEs after Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE).

Related Experiment Videos

Each OSVE uses a short video trigger with multiple-choice/constructed response questions.

Main Results:

OSVEs assess ACGME competencies like professionalism, systems-based practice, and communication.
Tools include an instructor's guide and scoring key.
Over 90% of statewide faculty committed to using the OSVE tools.

Conclusions:

OSVEs are an effective strategy for infusing geriatrics into residency training.
The developed tools have received enthusiastic faculty adoption.
This approach enhances the assessment of geriatric competencies in primary care.
