Introduction: Effective intra- and interprofessional collaboration abilities are necessary for safe and effective medical care, however such roles are often informally taught in postgraduate medical education, with lack of opportunity for practice and feedback. The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a common approach in medical education. Adaptations of the OSCE have been found useful in the assessment of collaborator competencies amongst interprofessional student groups and in the assessment of intrinsic roles, such as collaboration. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborator objective structured clinical examination (COSCE) as a method of formative assessment of collaborator competencies for postgraduate trainees. Methods: This study involved a one-group pretest-posttest evaluation conducted in 2018. Postgraduate year-1 (PGY1) residents completed a team skills scale immediately before and after COSCE participation and an evaluation survey to report satisfaction, and were assessed by facilitators and peer assessors using a COSCE rubric. Results: Residents reported significant improvement in their pre (n = 35) to post (n = 37) team skills scores and an overall positive level of satisfaction with the COSCE experience (n = 37/39, 94.9% response rate). The lowest performance scores across all COSCE stations were transfer of care skills (e.g., handover). Peer assessor (n = 204) and facilitator (n = 47) scores indicated a moderate level of interrelatedness. Conclusion: A COSCE is a feasible method of formative assessment, fostering role understanding of other health professions and providing feedback on collaborator skills early in postgraduate medical education. Peer assessment may also hold promise as a formative assessment method for intra- and interprofessional collaboration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
