RESUMO
The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a format of examination that enables students to be evaluated in a uniform, standardized, reliable, and objective way. It is carried out in different clinical stations that simulate real clinical situations and scenarios. Numerous universities in Spain and other countries employ this approach for the final examination for medical school students. This update describes the organization, design, and fundamentals for the OSCE, proposing that radiology should form part of multidisciplinary OSCEs to the extent that it forms part of clinical practice. Moreover, it is interesting and opportune to introduce the OSCE in undergraduate and postgraduate training in radiology. Online platforms enable bidimensional OSCEs that are cost-effective in terms of staff, resources, and physical space, although this approach has certain limitations. Virtual world technologies make it possible to reproduce OSCE stations in three-dimensional scenarios; recent experiences in radiology have shown that this approach interests and motivates students and is widely accepted by them.

La evaluación clínica objetiva estructurada (ECOE) es un formato de examen que permite evaluar habilidades clínicas del alumnado de forma fiable, objetiva, uniforme y estandarizada. Se desarrolla en diferentes estaciones clínicas que simulan escenarios y situaciones clínicas reales. Actualmente, se está utilizando como prueba final en el grado en Medicina en numerosas universidades, incluidas las españolas. Esta actualización presenta su organización, diseño y fundamentos, y propone que la radiología debe estar presente en las ECOE multidisciplinares, en la medida en que lo está en la práctica clínica. Además, es interesante y oportuno introducir la ECOE en la formación radiológica, en pregrado y posgrado. Las plataformas online posibilitan realizar ECOE virtuales bidimensionales coste-efectivas en términos de personal, recursos y espacio físico, aunque con ciertas limitaciones. La tecnología de mundos virtuales permite reproducir estaciones ECOE en escenarios tridimensionales; experiencias recientes en radiología han mostrado gran aceptación, interés y motivación en los alumnos.
