BACKGROUND:
To evaluate professional competences is the main goal of every training program; the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a useful tool for this task.OBJECTIVE:
We describe OSCE administration across three different levels of pediatric training (postgraduate, internship and graduate medical education).METHODS:
Regarding the most common pediatric scenarios, knowledge, clinical judgment and communicational skills were evaluated.RESULTS:
In the postgraduate setting OSCE was used for the last 8 years, testing 330 students, and passing 60
of them. In the internship setting OSCE was used for the last 2 years, testing 12 students, and passing 84
of them. In the medical school setting OSCE was used just once, testing 15 students, and passing 93.4
of them.
