4. Implementation and challenges of Objective Structure Clinical Examination after clinical clerkship

Abstract

　The author is involved in the management of Objective Structure Clinical Examination (OSCE) for Common Achievement Tests to be implemented prior to a clinical clerkship. In this study, we discuss how to develop questions for students who will receive OSCE after a clinical clerkship, as well as potential challenges in the introduction and management of its examination system. Finally, we consider the short-term future of clinical education, given the actual situation where a specialty-specific accreditation system has been introduced according to global standards, and medical education focused on medical professionalism is being offered.
