INTRODUCTION: Differential rater function over time (DRIFT) and contrast effects (examiners' scores biased away from the standard of preceding performances) both challenge the fairness of scoring in Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs). This i... Read More about Determining influence, interaction and causality of Contrast and Sequence effects in OSCEs..

INTRODUCTION: Communication skills are assessed by medically-enculturated examiners using consensus frameworks which were developed with limited patient involvement. Assessments consequently risk rewarding performance which incompletely serves patien... Read More about Understanding patient involvement in judging students' communication skills in OSCEs.

Purpose Ensuring that examiners in different parallel circuits of objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) judge to the same standard is critical to the chain of validity. Recent work suggests examiner-cohort (i.e., the particular group of...
