| Summary: | Object: The aim of this study, is to present the process
and results of OSCE in Psychiatric Association of Turkey
Board Exam-PATBE. Methods: Six stationed OSCE, in
which Standardized Patient-SP took role on five stations,
were used as an exam method. These stations were
planned for assessing the skills of taking history, psychiatric
examination, differential diagnosis, making treatment
plans and informing the patient. On the sixth station,
the examinees are asked to write a forensic psychiatric
report. Phases of OSCE were: preparing the blueprint,
preparing the SPs’ scenario for each station,
preparing the examinee's instructions, preparing the
observer's instructions and the evaluation guide, SP education,
training of observers, pilot implementation,
implementation and evaluation of results. The examinees
are expected to achieve at least 30% success in each station
and 50% success in all stations. Results: 116 examinees
participated the exam between 2006-2016 and
91.4% succeeded in the OSCE exam. In feedback forms,
examinees stated that the exam is moderately difficult;
yet, the content of the exam is in line with the scope of
their specialty training and is suitable for evaluating an
expert. Discussion: Positive feedbacks from the examinees
indicated the efficiency of the exam. The preparation,
implementation and evaluation of results of OSCE
require considerable time and manpower. OSCE can be
used as a valuable test method for psychiatric board certification. |
