Abstract

Objectives: Introduce the Objective and Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE), as a tool for the evaluation of competencies in Dentistry, as well as knowing the degree of acceptance of the test by students and generating documents and learning that facilitate its application as a method of evaluation of clinical skills in Dentistry. Material and methods: Fifteen professors of the degree in Dentistry were part of the Committee of test of the OSCE that realized 8 students of 5th course of the Degree in Dentistry. The test was performed at the Simulated Hospital. Evaluation designed in six stations: three with standard patient, one with dummy and two of interpretation of documentation. Results: The Net Satisfaction Index obtained was very high, of 95.47. In five of the six stations, the percentage of partial overrun previously determined by the committee was exceeded. Conclusions: OSCE will be included as a summative evaluation in the curriculum of 5th grade students in Dentistry throughout the 2017-18 academic year.All participating students would again take a similar test, which reveals their high level of satisfaction. The flow of knowledge generated among teachers and the numerous documents produced in this pilot test will serve as the basis for future OSCE experiences. Organizational aspects are key to the success of the test.
