Dear Colleagues,

Last week we ran our Year 3 Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) coordinated across SA and NT, examining 172 students. The OSCE consisted of 8 active stations, with 12 minutes per station (96 minutes per student of test time). Stations covered areas of acute care, primary care, child health, women’s health, mental health, general medicine and general surgery. For the past three years, our approach has remained domains-based and generalist, with three out of 5 domains (history taking, physical examination, clinical reasoning/ judgement, management, communication/ counselling) being tested in each station. Currently we are analysing the results and once complete, we will share some of the data with you.

The OSCE is a major hurdle assessment in the MD for our students before they enter their final pre-internship year. It is a way for healthcare professionals and our students to communicate in a very standardized way the level of knowledge and skill expected by the MD Program before entering a year for intern-preparedness.  I would like to thank all the academic and professional staff, Academic Status holders and clinicians who contributed to this important assessment. A list of case writers, examiners, nurses, academic and professional staff is included below.

We have been receiving written feedback on the OSCE and individual stations from you since last week, which is extremely helpful in making improvements for the years ahead. Please continue providing feedback at: https://qualtrics.flinders.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_3f2rNatIhLMSDfE.

Thank you for teaching and supporting Flinders University medical students throughout the year. Our partnership has never been more important, and I look forward to another productive year in 2023, shaping our future medical workforce together.

If you have questions about the Flinders medical course, or would like to discuss teaching in your department, unit or practice, please don’t hesitate to contact email clinicians@flinders.edu.au.

On behalf of the Flinders MD staff and medical students, I wish you a safe and happy festive season.

Regards, Michal
