PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the experience of examinees who took the first clinical skill examination in Korea.
METHODS The data were collected by written survey, telephone, and face-to-face interviews with 46 examinees who took a clinical skills examination test at Jeju National University School of Medicine. Thirty-two questionnaires were valid for analysis.
RESULTS Examinees' self-evaluation scores with regard to the level of difficulty of the CPX was 2.83 on average (1 for very easy, 5 for very difficult), and the score on the degree of adequate time for the CPX was 2.69 on average (1 for enough, 5 for very short). Examinees' self-evaluation scores on the level of difficulty of the OSCE was 2.37 on average (1 for very easy, 5 for very difficult), and the score on the degree of adequate time for the OSCE was 2.56 on average (1 for enough, 5 for very short).
CONCLUSION We hope that our study provides useful information on practical questions in the development and review of exams and will be used to develop educational content and teaching methods in medical education.
