Abstrakt: [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the evaluation of an examiner and that of simulated patients (SP) in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). [Subjects] Forty-seven students who had finished clinical practice were the subjects. [Methods] Average percentages of the evaluation of the examiner and SP were examined using the paired t-test. Further, the correlation between the examiner and SP at each station was evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. [Results] SPs' scores were lower than those of the examiner. There was a high correlation between the examiner and SP at the medical interview station, and the correlation was medium or low at the evaluation and exercise station. [Conclusion] The evaluations of the examiner using OSCE were greater than the subjective evaluations of SP. Therefore, SP can evaluate skills that the examiner cannot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
