β¦ Synopsis
Objective:
To compare checklists against global ratings for student performance on each station in an osce without the confounder of the global rating scorer having first filled in the checklist.
Method:
Subjects were 96 medical students completing their pre-clinical studies, who took an 8 station clinical osce. 39 students were assessed with detailed performance checklists; 57 students went through the same stations but were assessed using only a single global rating per station. a subset of 39 students were assessed by two independent raters.
Results:
Inter-rater and inter-station reliability of the global rating was the same as for the checklist. correlation with a concurrent multiple choice test was similar for both formats.
Conclusion:
The global rating was found to be as reliable as more traditional checklist scoring. a discussion of the validity of checklist and global scores suggests that global ratings may be superior.
