Abstract: Objective To evaluate dynamically the outcome of the standardized training of postgraduate year 1 surgery residents at surgical school. To investigate the effectiveness and rationality of the improvedObjective structured clinical examination (OSCE).Methods According to the results of OSCE in 2015, the design and content of OSCE's stations were improved in 2016. The difficulty, discrimination and reliability of each station were calculated, and the correlation between each station was analyzed by SPSS 22.0. In addition, the results of OSCE's in 2016 were compared to that in 2015.Results The average OSCE score was (72.98±4.93). The difficulty of total stations was 0.730. The distinction was 0.683 and the reliability was 0.453. The first, second and sixth station were lowest difficulty, and the fourth and fifth station was moderate difficulty. Each station's discrimination was more than 0.400. The reliability of the sixth station was low. There were moderate correlation between the first station and the sixth station, the second station and the fourth station, as well as the second station and the sixth station. But there was no significant correlation between other stations. The scores of laparoscopic simulator basic skills in 2016 were significantly lower than that in 2015, but the station's reliability was higher in 2016. The scores of irregular wound debridement and suture in 2016 were significant higher than that in 2015.Conclusions Through the continuous improvement of OSCE, surgical school evaluates effectively the outcome of the standardized training of postgraduate year 1 surgery residents and improve the training effect step by step.
