Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for nuclear medicine residents in Beijing.Methods The OSCE score of residents participating the standardized training from 2014 to 2017 were analyzed, including score, passing rate, difficulty, discrimination, reliability, validity. The examination was composed of six stations including radioactivity operating and protection, case analysis, history acquisition, image acquisition and processing, doctor-patients communication, report writing.Results The median OSCE score of 2014 and 2015 was 89.20(86.68-92.30)、88.38(83.33-90.80) respectively. The mean OSCE score of 2016、2017 was (86.52±3.33), (88.47±1.42) respectively. The passing rate of each year was more than 90%. The difficulty was 0.87, 0.87, 0.87, 0.88,and the Cronbach α of reliability was 0.88, 0.72, 0.55, 0.32 respectively for OSCE from 2014 to 2017. The discrimination range was 0.49~0.92 for all stations. The raters reliability was good for stations including radioactivity operating and protection, case analysis, history acquisition and slightly bad for image acquisition and processing, doctor-patients communication in 2017.Conclusions OSCE can truly imitate clinical environment and evaluate the residents’s comprehensive clinical skills effectively, but the program should be further optimized to improve the application effects.
