An Audit of OSCE Feedback Across UK Medical Schools Avril Dewar, David Hope and Helen Cameron 1st September 2014, AMEE
Feedback Specific information about the comparison between a trainees observed performance and a standard, given with the intent to improve the trainees performance. (Van de Ridder et al, 2008)
Feedback continued Feedback should be undertaken with the teacher and trainee working as allies, with common goals Feedback should be well-timed and expected Feedback should be based on first-hand data Feedback should be regulated in quantity and limited to behaviours that are remediable Feedback should be phrased in descriptive non-evaluative language Feedback should deal with specific performances, not generalizations Feedback should offer subjective data, labelled as such Feedback should deal with decisions and actions, rather than assumed intentions or interpretations (Ende, 1983)
Background National Student Survey Results Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE)
What We Did E-mailed all medical schools in the UK Asked about summative feedback in OSCEs Asked about specialist software
Results Summary of Feedback and Software Usage 12 10 8 Number of Schools 6 Feedback Software 4 2 0 Only marks given Feedback given to all students Feedback given to students requiring remediation only Used Specialist OSCE Software Didn't Use OSCE Software
Our Conclusions OSCE feedback varies significantly across and within schools Schools use feedback which is empirically effective but further work required to explore this
Take Home Messages Adopt workable, cost-effective solutions for OSCE feedback No standards set for quantity of feedback Scope for collaboration
