Outline
Workshop/Arbeitstreffen
The OSCE (objective structured/standardized clinical examination) introduces validity and reliability into practical assessment. Based on over 10 years experience with OSCEs at the Medical University of Vienna, we will try to concentrate on the most important aspects of test-preparation, test-implementation and analysis of the results. Activities of the participants will include task-analysis and checklistgeneration, standard-setting (via modified-Angoff), observer-training to decrease interrater-reliability, hands-on OSCE stations using role-play and some practise on statistical analysis (generalisability). No prerequisite knowledge or clinical skills are required for participation, but we will highly appreciate your active engagement.
