How the Summative Objective Structured Clinical Examination Can Support Learning in Post-graduate Ophthalmology Education in a Resource-constrained Context

Abstract

Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a structured performance-based assessment of learners' competencies. These technical and non-technical competencies are evaluated by multiple examiners through uniformly timed, multiple stations. OSCE has been adapted in the assessment and training of post-graduate medical doctors in Ophthalmology in Nigeria. Leaning on current practice and evidence-based pedagogy from the existing literature, we explore how OSCE can be adapted to support learning, in post-graduate ophthalmology in Nigeria. We describe initiatives to modify the existing OSCE assessment method to balance 'assessment of' with 'assessment for' learning.
