The OSCE portion of the certification involves residents visiting several patient stations where they address case scenarios with an examiner. Unfortunately, residents lack exam preparation time due to demanding work hours. In response to resident needs, we created a novel, virtual preparation OSCE program – “prepOSCE” – and evaluated its efficacy. The prepOSCE program employed a proprietary virtual solution from CTC Communications Corp. Ten virtual sessions accommodated 70 residents totally. Seven Canadian physicians and two co-chairs created case scenarios for the stations. On session day, seven residents arrived in a virtual plenary room for briefing followed by assignment to a station by CTC. Residents then moved virtually through prepOSCE stations a different examiner and case scenario in each. Following their session, residents and evaluators were surveyed to capture experiences. The average program rating was 4.22 out of 5 (n = 36 residents of 70 residents who participated in the program) and 4.35 (n = 17 evaluators). Ninety-two percent of residents agreed or strongly agreed that they would recommend this program to their peers; they would like prepOSCE to continue next year; and the program was relevant and added value to their studies. The positive feedback received from prepOSCE participants indicates there is a need for a program like prepOSCE. This model has potential for expansion and it is hoped that specialties outside of neurology could benefit from a similar program. |\n| --- |\n| RÉSUMÉ : préECOS : solution virtuelle et échelonnable de préparation des résidents à l’examen ECOS. L’examen objectif intégré du Collège royal en neurologie conduit à la reconnaissance professionnelle des neurologues au Canada, et il consiste en un examen écrit et en l’examen clinique objectif structuré (ECOS) . Pour cette dernière partie de l’évaluation, les résidents et résidentes doivent aller dans plusieurs postes de patients et évaluer différents cas, en la présence d’un examinateur. Malheureusement, les résidents manquent de temps pour sepréparer convenablement à l’examen, en raison des longues heures de travail. Alors, afin de répondre aux besoins des résidents, nous avons élaboré un tout nouveau programme de préparation virtuelle à l’ECOS, appelé préECOS, et en avons évalué l’efficacité . Le programme préECOS reposait sur une solution virtuelle, propriétaire de CTC Communications Corp. Au total, 70 résidents ont profité de 10 séances virtuelles. Sept médecins canadiens et deux coprésidents ont conçu des études de cas pour les postes de consultation. Durant les jours deséance, les résidents, au nombre de sept, participaient en séance plénière, dans une salle virtuelle, à une réunion préparatoire, puis étaient dirigés vers un des postes de consultation par l’équipe de CTC. Les résidents passaient d’un poste de préECOS à un autre, en mode virtuel, chaque fois acco","cbCaiibPeY1O910F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiibPeY1O910F","pdf",851392,"English","# Abstract\n## Program design and delivery\n## Outcomes and participant feedback","[{\"question\":\"What is the OSCE requirement for neurology residents in Canada?\",\"answer\":\"Residents rotate through multiple patient stations and address case scenarios in front of an examiner as part of the certification process.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the prepOSCE virtual program delivered to residents?\",\"answer\":\"Participants joined a virtual plenary briefing and were then assigned to stations; they moved virtually through stations with a different examiner and case scenario at each station.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main results of the prepOSCE program evaluation?\",\"answer\":\"Average ratings were 4.22/5 for residents and 4.35/5 for evaluators, with 92% of residents indicating they would recommend the program and found it relevant and valuable.\"}]","prepOSCE: A Virtual, Scalable Solution to Prepare Residents for Their OSCE Examination | PDF",18]
