Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Skills Assessment
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Traditional Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) are primarily used for summative assessment.
  • There is a need for effective self-assessment tools in medical education, particularly for practicing physicians.
  • Existing OSCE formats may not fully cater to collaborative learning or provide immediate feedback.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To modify the OSCE for self-assessment and learning purposes.
  • To evaluate the Group OSCE (GOSCE) as an introductory session for general practitioner refresher courses.
  • To explore potential applications of the GOSCE in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted the standard OSCE for small group use instead of individual assessment.

  • Incorporated immediate feedback or correct answers at each station.
  • Implemented the GOSCE in two residential refresher courses for 300 general practitioners.

    • Main Results:

    • Participants highly rated the GOSCE as a method for self-assessment.
    • The GOSCE was also perceived as an enjoyable social event.
    • The modified format facilitated learning in a group setting.

    Conclusions:

    • The Group OSCE (GOSCE) is a valuable tool for self-assessment and learning in medical education.
    • Potential applications include formative and informal summative assessment, interpersonal skills development, and problem-based learning frameworks.
    • The GOSCE offers a flexible and engaging approach to continuing professional development for general practitioners.
