Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the benefits of Conventional Practical Training (CPT) and Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) for Phase II MBBS students. Material and Method: Study was carried out among II year medical students of Karpagam Faculty of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore. A total of 100 students of both genders were given questionnaire and feedback was taken regarding the benefits of CPT and OSPE in their routine clinical examination in hospital postings and a comparative study was done. Results: The student’s attitude towards the OSPE was found to be positive. OSPE appeared to be the valid index for developing knowledge, communication and psychomotor skills for the MBBS students. Conclusion: OSPE was found to be a valuable method to improve the competency of a medical student in various domains. Thus OSPE can be used as routine practical examination in basic medical sciences rather than CPT for better learning and application of knowledge in clinical settings.
