Abstract Objective In order to standardize the teaching criterion and improve the quality of clinical training between different dental trainees, an integrated clinical curriculum was developed since September 2014 in the Hospital of Stomatology, Fujian Medical University of China. This article aimed to introduce the development of this curriculum and evaluate the dental trainees’ view on the curriculum. Methods and analysis A six-step approach was used to develop the curriculum. Dental trainees (n=142) rated the curriculum with satisfaction scores on a Likert-type scale and answered several open-ended questions. One-way ANOVA and Fisher's exact probabilities were utilized to analyzed satisfaction scores among four types of dental trainees. Results The mean satisfaction scores was 7.96 (out of 10). There was no significant difference in satisfaction scores among four types of dental trainees (P=0.209) and between the two genders (P=0.233). 91.55% of the dental trainees reckoned that the curriculum was valuable to their clinical training. There was no significant differences among the four types of dental trainees in terms of helpfulness to promote and standardize their clinical skills training (P=0.828). Conclusions The present findings suggest that the dental trainees appreciated the integrated clinical curriculum. This integrated curriculum is considered suitable for current condition of dental clinical training in China.

Backgroud: Clinical skills is one of competency as a doctor. Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is an ideal way to assess clinical skills for undergraduated, graduated, and postdraduated clinical students. The low score in some OSCE station can be an input for teaching and curriculum improvement. This study aim to analyzed student competency achievement in first term in 2017/2018 academic year in  Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas HKBP Nommensen. Methods: This study was qualitative study with descriptive design. The sample was OSCE score in first term in 2017/2018 academic year. Student achievement was the mean score of every student in all station in OSCE. Competency achievement was the mean of students score for every competency in OSCE. Next, the stations was categorized in practice/ procedure skills station and clinical reasoning skills station. Skills achievement was got form the mean of score (in percent) of procedure skills and clinical reasoning station. Indept interview with students and lectures was held to knowed their perception about OSCE. Results: Students’ achievement in OSCE of first term academic year 2017/2018 was 62.4% for 2015’s students, and 64.6% for 2016’ students. The lowest competency achievement of 2015’s students was diagnosis and differential diagnosis. For the 2016’s students, it was farmacology treatment. Practice/ procedure skills achievement in OSCE of first term academic year 2017/2018 was 61.34% (2015’s students) and 74.4% (2016’s students). The clinical reasoning skills achievement was 62.80% (2015’s students), and 58.77% (2016’s students). Based on indept interview, the things that make student’s achievement low were the clinical reasoning ability of students was still low, the standard patient that involved in OSCE didn’t acted properly, the students’ knowledge about medicine and prescription was poor, and there were lot of learning schedules and learning subjects that students must did and learned. Conclusions:  Students’ achievement in OSCE of first term academic year 2017/2018 is need to  be improved.

Abstract Introduction: Problems related to the clinical abilities of physiotherapy students are not always identified throughout the educational process and might only be observed when these future professionals have to treat patients. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) includes a problematization approach and can be used in Health Sciences teaching to help this identification before internship practices. However, there are few studies on its use in Physiotherapy. Objective: To gather evidence of the OSCE use to evaluate clinical abilities in Physiotherapy teaching. Method: Articles published from 2000 to 2016 were surveyed in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) (Virtual Health Library), Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (BIREME) (Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Information Center), PubMed, Scielo and Web of Science, using the descriptors “educational assessment”, “assessment methods”, “objective structured clinical examination”, “clinical competence”, “professional competence”, “clinical skills”, “student competence”, “student skills”, “physiotherapy” and the Booleans “OR” and “AND”. Results: The initial number of identified publications was 3,242. From these, seven were included in this review. Two studies were developed in Brazil, four in Australia and one in Canada. The studies were scored 7 to 12 regarding methodologic quality, and 1B and 2B regarding scientific evidence. Conclusion: Students’ clinical abilities were grouped into three classes: cognitive, psychomotor and affective, and four studies described their use. There is very little evidence of the use of OSCE, but the instrument can be applied to evaluate skills and competences in Physiotherapy teaching.
