Abstract Objective: This study aimed to assess the medical students’ opinions and views on undertaking SLICE as a formative assessment. Methods: This was a qualitative, exploratory study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select final year medical students who have undertaken a formative assessment through SLICE in their clerkship rotation. Total 32 students participated in this study .Four sets of focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted from medical students who had recently gone through their clinical clerkship modules for Pediatrics, General Medicine, General Surgery and Gynecology& Obstetrics. Each recorded FGD was transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was conducted manually. Themes were identified from the transcribed data, coded and analyzed. In order to achieve adequate coding and researcher reliability, investigator triangulation was performed. The initial thematic analysis was performed by the primary investigator. Thereafter, two more investigators independently analyzed the data. Before the data was finalized, all the three investigators reached a final consensus upon the themes that had emerged, ensuring triangulation of the analyzed data. Results: A four staged thematic analysis was conducted, in which five major themes and five sub-themes emerged. The main themes being: Purpose, Learning, Timing, Relevancy and Fairness of SLICE. Conclusion: The students generally thought that SLICE was effective in enhancing their clinical skills learning and should be conducted more frequently with minor adjustments. Continuous...

Effective Assessment

Background: Assessment of students in medical colleges was done by traditional practical examination for evaluation of practical or clinical skills, which is subjective in nature and suffer from lack of objectivity. So a uniform system of clinical and practical evaluation of medical students is always desirable. An objective structured practical examination (OSPE) is one such method believed to meet the deficiencies of the conventional system of practical/clinical examination. This study is an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of OSPE as a formative assessment tool compared to traditional methods for M.B.B.S. students.Methods: A cross sectional comparative study was carried out on 56 MBBS students in KAMSRC, Hyderabad, Telangana. Students of 3rd year M.B.B.S were subjected to traditional practical evaluation followed by OSPE. A eight station OSPE was conducted one week after the TPE. The scores obtained in both were compared. All the data collected was entered and analyzed with MS excel software 2007.Results: Average marks scored by the students in OSPE (17.78±2.69) were higher as compared to traditional practical examination (15.00±3.49) which was statistically significant. 74.4% of the students strongly agreed that OSPE is fairer in comparison to traditional practical examination. 90.5% students strongly agreed that variability of examiner and patient can be removed to a large extent by OSPE.Conclusions: Based on the observation, OSPE was found to be a more effective assessment tool than traditional method.

Background: Mini-CEX was developed to assess clinical skills by direct observation. Mini-CEX as a clinical skills assessment tool had to fulfill four requirements: validity, reliability, effects on students, and practicality. The purpose of this study is to understand validity, reliability, and feasibility of Mini-CEX as a clinical skills assessment tool in medical core clerkship program at Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada.Method: Seventy four clerkship students from Internal Medicine and 42 clerkship students from Neurology Department were asked to do an observed Mini-CEX encounter for minimum amount of four in Internal Medicine and two in Neurology Department in the period of September 2010 to January 2011. The validity was analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis method for Internal Medicine, and Mann-Whitney Method for neurology Department, reliability was analyzed based on G coefficient, and feasibility was analyzed using descriptive statistic.Results: Mini-CEX’s validity is shown by p < 0,001 in Internal Medicine and p = 0,250 in Neurology Department, G coefficient for Internal Medicine and Neurology Department is 0,98 and 0,61 respectively. Feasibility in Internal Medicine and Neurology Department is 79,7 % and 100% respectively.Conclusion: Mini-CEX is valid and reliable in Internal Medicine but not in Neurology Department. Feasibility is good for both Internal Medicine and Neurology Department.
