ABSTRACT

Clinical final examination is an important link in the standardized training of residents in dermatology and quantification of evaluation indicators is one of the important parameters. In this study, the scores of clinical examinations of six candidates who participated in standardized training of residents in dermatology of Sun Yat-Sen University in June 2019 were taken as examples to explore the quantitative indicators of standardized and multi-station clinical final examinations. The indicators contained four stations and five links skin pathological reading, skin biopsy, medical history collection and physical examination, medical record writing, and comprehensive questioning, which covered the main contents of the standardized training outline of residents in dermatology. Each evaluation indicator was refined and quantified. Finally, heuristic ideas were put forward, including a wider range of standardized and multi-station clinical examinations, introduction of new examination places, and utilization of information technology.
