Abstract: Objective To evaluate the scores of Objective structured clinical examination(OSCE) in 5-year program track for undergraduates of clinical medicine and to provide suggestions to application of OSCE in the future competition. Methods According to the data analysis, we calculated the distribution, difficulty, discrimination, and reliability. Kruskal-Wallis rank test was used to analyze the relationship between scores and different classification of teams. Results The score was 160.23(145.03,174.50).The difficulty coefficient was 0.60,the discrimination was 0.20 and the Cronbach α was 0.860. The scores among different teams from double first-class universities, provincial and ministerial universities and other universities were 159.83 (156.80,177.68), 167.98 (160.51,174.50) and 146.21 (140.25,164.33) respectively. The scores among different teams from 5+3 integration, mixed and five-year team were 168.13 (159.83,196.51), 156.47 (144.67,166.93) and 157.47 (142.80,171.42) respectively.The differences were all not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions The test questions of OSCE are qualified. It has excellence to be used in the competition. The college levels and training modes of the participating teams have no effect on OSCE scores.
