Abstract:
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is used globally for both high and low stakes assessment. Despite its extensive use, very few published articles provide a set of best practices for developing an OSCE, and of those that do, none apply a modern understanding of validity. This article provides 12 tips for developing an OSCE guided by Kane's validity framework to ensure the OSCE is assessing what it purports to measure. The 12 tips are presented in the order they would be operationalized during OSCE development.
