Utility and feasibility of Objective Structured Practical Examination for formative assessment in physiology: a mixed-methods study from India

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study from India evaluates the impact of repeated formative Objective Structured Practical Examinations for assessing physiology competencies under the newly implemented Competency-Based Medical Education curriculum. Using a mixed-methods design, it demonstrates that OSPE not only improves student performance but is also perceived as fair, relevant, and skill oriented. Importantly, the study highlights the possible influence of the testing effect on performance gains and identifies context-specific challenges such as time constraints, subject cooperation, and logistical demands.
