"Aim: Introducing the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to improve orthoptic education and clinical competence including the clinical attitude and skills of orthoptic students.Methods: Subjects were thirty-one fourth grade orthoptic students from our department. Six basic examinations were included in stations for trial use of OSCE. The OSCE were performed and compared before and after the eight weeks clinical training. Ten items of clinical attitude and six examinations were evaluated respectively. Six experienced orthoptists evaluated students' clinical attitude and examination techniques while they were performing simulated patient (SPs) examinations according to the evaluation sheets we designed.Results: After clinical training, both students' attitudes toward SPs and examination techniques including correction of refractive errors improved significantly (p<0.05). However, the refractive correction score did not reach sixty. Attitudes toward SPs improved in eight areas out of ten. Safety procedures during examination and signaling the end of examinations did not attain a score of sixty.Conclusion: We were able to evaluate objectively the effect of clinical training on the clinical competence (attitude toward patients and examination techniques) of students by OSCE. Improvements in the evaluation sheets and crossed-check system are still necessary."
