I usually write my Blog on Monday, but I decided to wait until after our calibration session - to get an idea of how our OSCEs would go. Creating an OSCE was fun, and thanks to Kim's help - much easier to organized than I imagined. Having never seen an OSCE performed in the clinic, it was a bit more challenging to imagine how one might perceive it. You definitely gain an appreciation for the work that the IERC team puts into the OSCEs they create!
Overall, I think I have more of an idea of how OSCEs work. I have a much better appreciation of the overall concept - and understand the concerns voiced by the faculty and students better now too. Kim was a great partner to work with - and we pulled it off!
Now to work on my Quality Assurance mechanism - evaluations for the patients and the students.
Cooke,
ReplyDeleteI thought you and Kim did an awesome job with your OSCE presentation on Mon!! You put a lot of thought and planning into it, and it sounded like it would run very smoothly and effectively!! I loved the idea of having a "Medical emergency" within another topic. The element of surprise will really test whether or not the student really knows their medical emergency protocols.
Great job!!
Cooke, it was great to FINALLY work with you on a project! Your attention to detail and your knowledge and enthusiasm and passion for teaching will take you to great places in the future. It was a pleasure!
