Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6

Abstract

In our department of Anatomy at Medical College a large part of practical examination is taken under different heads and students have to face at least 4 examiners at a time. Therefore students have to face different questions having different difficulty level, also the students complain that examiner’s mood, chances of bias make them more anxious which affects the performance of the student. Hence to overcome these factors OSPE (objective structured practical examination) was introduced and conducted in the department so that all students would get an equal opportunity. The syllabus given was embryology of HNF region. 4 stations were designed. The aim of the study was to introduce OSPE for embryology to 1st MBBS students as an assessment method of the students and its acceptance as a method of assessment and learning tool by the faculties of the department. The entire faculties suggested for combination of OSPE and traditional practical examination. Keywords: OSPE, assessment, embryology, traditional, examination, syllabus.
