| Crynodeb: | Medical education is a public trust. Societal changes have led the public to question the traditional self-ratification of medical professionals, asking for more evidence of the training and expertise of doctors. Within Australia, there has been a lack of cohesion and co-ordination of medical education, leading to an absence of data with regard to benchmarking of assessment. This project focused on the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Clinical competencies cannot be effectively assessed using traditional paper based assessment methods, but need to be assessed by observation in real or simulated workplace settings. OSCEs are an internationally recognised 'gold standard' method for assessing clinical competence. The project proposed a feasible, innovative way of enabling Australian medical schools to collaborate in benchmarking and improving quality assurance practices in the assessment of medical students' clinical competence, without compromising the autonomy of participating schools |
