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...

The influence of candidates' physical attributes on assessors' ratings in clinical practice (2021)
Journal Article
Sam, A., Reid, M., Thakerar, V., Gurnell, M., Westacott, R., Yeates, P., …Brown, C. (2021). The influence of candidates' physical attributes on assessors' ratings in clinical practice. Medical Teacher, 43(5), 554-559. https://doi.org/10.1080/0142159X.2021.1877268

BACKGROUND: Assessments of physician competence in the work-place are common and often contribute to high-stakes assessments. Previous research suggests that assessors' judgements can be influenced by candidates' physical attributes. We investigated...
