초록

Objective: I report the my 3-year experience of evaluating clinical competence of undergraduate medical students in Plastic Surgery field using OSCE(Objective Structured Clinical Examination). Methods: Development of OSCE with definition of an assessment of subject, choice of clinical stations sampling, identification of components of clinical competence to be evaluated, the level of performance required, development of specification table, editing of OSCE presentation page and assessment of praticability and results exploitation. Results: fifty students were examined annually. Seven station stimuli with simulated patient participation were carried out. The mean OSCE score was 81.2 ± 15.9. The reliability of the total station was 0.79. The examines showed positive response to the OSCE. Conclusion: Our experience suggests OSCE feasibility for Plastic Surgery during the initial course of education. Our experience became a beginning to the OSCE test for Plastic Surgery board Certification of Korea.
