The Reliability, Validity, and Evaluation of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination in Podiatry (Chiropody).

Woodburn, Jim; Sutcliffe, Nick

Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, v21 n2 p131-46 Jun 1996

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), initially developed for undergraduate medical education, has been adapted for assessment of clinical skills in podiatry students. A 12-month pilot study found the test had relatively low levels of reliability, high construct and criterion validity, and good stability of performance over time. Students overwhelmingly accepted and supported the exam's use. (Author/MSE)
