Relationship of the scores in the OSCE test of the Catalan administration with the academic record and the results in the MIR exam in UPF-UAB Medical students
Abstract
In the Medicine studies of the Campus Mar in Barcelona (UPF-UAB) the OSCE test recommended by the Conference of Deans of Spain has not yet been implemented, but all the students take an OSCE designed by the Catalan health administration during their final year. We plan to carry out a study to establish the possible relationship between the results in the external ECOE test and those obtained in our Medical School. We also tried to establish the relationship between the results in the ECOE and in the MIR test. The study was carried out with all the graduates of the first four promotions of the UPF-UAB degree in Medicine who had taken the ECOE test and the MIR test. No differences between sexes were found in the OSCE achievement. In both men and women, there was a positive and significant relationship between the results of the OSCE and those of the final score and those of the MIR test. The results are positively valued since the final score is in line with the performance in a test where presumably the most relevant competencies that graduates in Medicine should have are adequately evaluated. The positive relationship between OSCE and MIR allows some peace of mind until at some point an exam can be implemented that assesses clinical and communication skills for access to specialized training.
