Objectives: This study aims to compare viewpoints of standardized patients (SPs) and consultant psychiatrists about the performance of volunteer residents in the first Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in
Method: OSCE was hold with 9 stations and 8 SPs, in one day with attendance of 22 senior psychiatric residents. In each station two raters independently scored the residents based on a previously prepared checklist. SPs were three females and five males with the mean age of 27 years. In the end, viewpoints of consultant psychi-atrists and SPs on the performance of residents were compared.
Results: Beside three stations, no significant correlation between SPs’ and consultants’ opinions could be found in other stations. SPs in the stations with significant correlation had higher level of educa-tion especially in the psychiatry-relevant fields.
Conclusion: Despite capabilities of the SPs, it is probably not reason- able to rely on their opinion as raters unless they have higher level of education.Received: 2007/07/21 | Published: 2007/05/15
