Alim Nagji: The subjective experience of an objective exam

Alim Nagji: The subjective experience of an objective examAlim Nagji, BHSc, Medical Student (2012), Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is the primary modality for testing clinical skills throughout medical school and in residency training. This article explores the difficulties of the exam via the subjective perspective of a student in the system, commenting on reticent standardized patients, the lack of consensus on what makes an ideal medical student and the absence of feedback. As the exam celebrates nearly four decades in use, it is important that we continue to evaluate its usefulness and brainstorm innovative approaches to advancing the state of clinical examinations.
