A novel strategy combining Mini-CEX and OSCE to assess standardized training of professional postgraduates in department of prosthodontics

OBJECTIVE: Mini clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) are widely acknowledged as effective measures of resident standardization training (RST) in European and American countries. However, in China primary mini-CEX and OSCE forms are mainly limit...

description OBJECTIVE: Mini clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) are widely acknowledged as effective measures of resident standardization training (RST) in European and American countries. However, in China primary mini-CEX and OSCE forms are mainly limited in undergraduate clinical examination. Little knowledge is available regarding the validity and right way of mini-CEX /OSCE evaluation system in advanced dental clinical education so far. This study aimed to explore whether combination of mini-CEX and OSCE represents a global-dimension assessment for postgraduate clinical competence in RST. METHODS: Postgraduates who received RST from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected and evaluated by modified mini-CEX/OSCE scales. Each student received evaluations at least twice in the initial and final stages of training (tested every 4 months). A questionnaire was conducted to investigate the satisfaction with the arrangement of RST. RESULTS: Mini-CEX/OSCE test results indicated that postgraduates have significantly improved their comprehensive competence in RST projects in the department of prosthodontics (P < 0.05). Compared to other master of Stomatology students, postgraduates taking up prosthodontics master’s degree have made more progresses through a training period of up to 1 year and four sessions of face-to-face feedback tutoring (P < 0.05). Survey results revealed high level of satisfaction on clinical practice evaluation. CONCLUSION: Modified mini-CEX/OSCE combined evaluation system is an effective and reliable assessment tool for clinical comprehensive ability in the RST of professional graduates and can fully highlight their respective advantages on the improvement of students’ clinical competency, especially after several rounds of assessments. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12909-022-03956-w.
