GALARZA LOPEZ, Judith  y  RADAMES BORROTO CRUZ, Eugenio. Experiencia innovadora en la aplicación del Examen Clínico Objetivo Estructurado en el Programa de Medicina de la Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo. Revista San Gregorio [online]. 2025, vol.1, n.63, pp.135-144. ISSN 2528-7907.  https://doi.org/10.36097/rsan.v1i63.3771.

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a tool that has proven effective in assessing clinical competencies. This paper presents the main results obtained from the implementation of an innovative OSCE experience using high-fidelity simulators and standardized patients, integrating both quantitative and qualitative evaluation indicators. This examination serves as a prerequisite for access to pre-professional practice within healthcare institutions. The experience focused on medical students at the Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo in Ecuador, specifically those completing their clinical training in the fifth and sixth levels. The study highlights the applied methodology and the main challenges faced by the program in the continuous improvement of the assessment process. The results demonstrate that the OSCE is a valid and reliable assessment tool for distinguishing the level of clinical competencies achieved by students and emphasize the value of feedback provided by both students and faculty regarding the importance and objectivity of the results.
