Abstract:
During the OSCE 2026 at the Odesa National Medical University,
students completed 10 examination stations. In total, 528 examination tasks were
included in the exam, among which 243 were clinical scenarios involving
standardized patients. An analysis of the structure of standardized patient scenarios in
various clinical disciplines (surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology,
and pediatrics) was conducted. The largest proportion of examination tasks assessed
clinical (professional) competence (41.17%) as well as physical examination and
diagnostic skills (23.90%). The proportions of tasks aimed at assessing
communicative competence and treatment strategy were approximately equal,
accounting for 18.11% and 16.85%, respectively.
