RESUMO
Objective To investigate the immediate oral feedback after objective structure clinical examination (OSCE) for postgraduate year 1 & 2 surgery residents (PGY1 & 2).Methods 37 PGY1 and 38 PGY2 wereevaluated.The examination was composed of 6 stationsand limited to15 minutes per station.Each station was evaluated by centesimal system score.Immediate oral feedback was given in the last2 minutes.A questionnaire was given to each resident and examiner at the end of OSCE.All data analyses were conducted using SPSS version 22.0,repeated measures ANOVA and LSD test were used,and correlations were tested by the Pearson correlation test.Results The average scores for PGY1 & 2 were (68.97 ± 5.40) and (68.35 ± 5.00),the between-and inter-round differences in average score were not statistically significant.There was no significant correlation about theevaluation of the residents' performance during OSCE between the examiners and the residents.The necessity and effectiveness of immediate oral feedback were confirmed by both the examiners and the residents.Conclusions Immediate oral feedback isfeasible with limited impact on OSCE score,but the plan should be furtherrefined.Follow-up study isnecessary to identify the long-term effect on the clinical competency.
