Abstract
BACKGROUND:
A novel online resource has been developed to aid OSCE examiner training comprising a series of videos of OSCE performances that allow inter-examiner comparison of global grade decisions.
AIMS:
To evaluate this training resource in terms of usefulness and ability to improve examiner confidence in awarding global grades in OSCEs.
METHOD:
Data collected from the first 200 users included global grades awarded, willingness to change grades following peer comparison and confidence in awarding grades before and after training.
RESULTS:
Most (86.5%) agreed that the resource was useful in developing global grade scoring ability in OSCEs, with a significant improvement in confidence in awarding grades after using the training package (p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS:
This is a useful and effective online training package. As an adjunct to traditional training it offers a practical solution to the problem of availability of examiners.
