Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Peer-Assisted Learning

Background:

  • Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are crucial for health professions education.
  • Increasing student numbers and limited faculty resources challenge the delivery of formative OSCEs.
  • Student-led OSCEs present a peer-assisted learning strategy to expand practice opportunities and provide educational benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of student-led OSCEs in undergraduate health professions education.
  • To identify the characteristics, outcomes, and feasibility of student-led OSCE initiatives.
  • To synthesize existing evidence on student involvement in OSCE planning, delivery, and assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Searched five major databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, PsycINFO, ERIC, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global) from 1975 to September 2025.
  • Included studies with active student involvement in OSCE planning, design, delivery, assessment, and feedback.
  • Employed a descriptive synthesis approach using narrative methods to analyze data.

Main Results:

  • Nineteen studies (2014-2025), primarily in medical education, were included.
  • Student-led OSCEs were mainly formative, cross-year initiatives enhancing preparedness and access to practice.
  • Positive outcomes included improved candidate confidence and preparedness, and enhanced teaching/feedback skills for facilitators.

Conclusions:

  • Student-led OSCEs are a feasible and acceptable method for expanding formative assessment and engaging students as educators.
  • The current evidence base is largely descriptive, relying on short-term, self-reported perceptions.
  • Future research should investigate the impact of design features, faculty involvement, and the balance between feasibility, educational value, and assessment credibility.
