Developing objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) modules for Korean medicine (KM) faces challenges, particularly in pattern identification (PI) item creation. Standardization of KM diagnostic methods and PI is crucial for efficient OSCE module development.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Korean Medicine (KM)
Background:
- Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are vital for assessing clinical skills.
- Korean Medicine (KM) education faces unique challenges in standardizing assessment tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the challenges faced by developers in creating OSCE modules for Korean Medicine.
- To explore solutions for enhancing the development of effective KM OSCE modules.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-method approach was employed, including surveys, importance-performance analysis, and focus group interviews.
- Seven developers participated in creating 21 OSCE modules for Korean Medicine.
Main Results:
- Key challenges include developing pattern identification (PI) items, selecting cases, and defining scoring criteria.
- Difficulties were categorized into case development, examination situations, scoring, and PI item creation.
- Importance-performance analysis indicated improved module development capabilities over iterations.
Conclusions:
- Standardization of Korean Medicine diagnostic methods and pattern identification (PI) is essential for efficient OSCE module development.
- Collaborative efforts from the KM education community and institutions are needed to overcome development challenges.
