Assessment of Clinical Reasoning During a High Stakes Medical Student OSCE.

ABSTRACT:

Background & need for innovation

Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are commonly employed to assess clinical skills. While several existing tools address components of clinical reasoning, including the Assessment of Reasoning Tool, none are calibrated for competency-based assessment of medical students (UME) in an OSCE setting.

Goal of innovation

Steps taken for development and implementation of innovation

A minimum-competency OSCE was administered to medical students following their required clinical clerkships. We developed a tool to assess clinical reasoning of medical students at the conclusion of their required clinical clerkships and depl
