Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is an important assessment method for examining clinical thinking and clinical skills of medical students. OSCE has been applied in the quarterly phase examination in our department. According to the characteristics of otolaryngology

three stations of common items and five stations for personalized tests were set in the assessment. According to the different training that residents received during their stay in the previous department

different contents were assessed in the station for personalized examination. During the OSCE

residents took turns entering into each examine station and teachers gave scores according to the marking criteria of different station. After the examinations

two-way assessment and feedback were conducted between students and teachers. Through the practice in standardized training of residents in recent years

we found that OSCE was more comprehensive and flexible than others

which gained good application effects.
