The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is widely used in advanced practice but lacks strong evidence of effectiveness. A 2023 survey explored its reliability and validity for assessing advanced practitioners.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Assessment
- Advanced Practice Nursing
Background:
- The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was developed to standardize medical student assessment.
- OSCEs are the primary method for evaluating capability in advanced practice programs.
- Prior research suggests limited evidence supporting OSCE effectiveness in advanced practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the perceived reliability and validity of OSCEs in advanced practice.
- To explore challenges and opportunities of using OSCEs for advanced practitioner evaluation.
Main Methods:
- A national survey was conducted in 2023.
- The survey involved multiprofessional educators with advanced practice expertise.
Main Results:
- Findings from the national survey on OSCE reliability and validity are reported.
- Critical insights into the challenges and opportunities of OSCEs for advanced practitioners are provided.
Conclusions:
- Selecting appropriate assessment instruments is crucial for evaluating advanced practitioner capability.
- Ensuring assessment relevance to the advanced practitioner role is paramount.
