Abstract
- PURPOSE
Ethics objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scenarios was developed and were applied to medical students to see whether it would be suitable for assessing the students' ethical behaviors. METHODS: The data for this study were gathered from the end-of-clerkship patient-doctor-society OSCE, involving third-year medical students along the academic year of 2006. 54 students who participated in the ethics OSCE, which consisted of three stations, responded. Nine standardized patients (SPs) participated in the evaluation. The SPs were trained for 4 hours to conduct the medical interview and for 2 hours for evaluating students' performance using the checklist for each station. RESULTS: The consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of the SPs was 0.796. Mean score was 57.33. There was no difference among circuits and gender. CONCLUSION: We found that the ethics OSCE was adequate for evaluating students' performances.
