About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of using OSCE(objective structured clinical exam) on principles of TBL (team based learning) in teaching clinical skills to undergraduate medical students. The main question it aims to answer is whether using OSCE on TBL format is an effective role for teaching clinical skills in undergraduate medical students.
4th year MBBS students included in study after informed written consent. By simple random sampling students divided into two groups i.e. Experimental and control group.
Control group was named Group A while the interventional group was Group B. Control group (Group A) underwent traditional teaching of skills as routinely carried out in gynecology department during clinical clerkship of three weeks. Group B underwent intervention in the form of learning session where OSCE was implemented on principles of Team-based learning. Both groups had pre-test at start of study in the form of two OSCE stations with pre-validated checklists, to check their baseline knowledge. Post-test on same stations was taken after traditional teaching for group A and intervention for group B. The groups were later crossed over so no student was devoid of the learning experience.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
modification of OSCE using TBL formatOther
Modification of Team-based learning format and implementing OSCE using that modified format to teach clinical skills to medical students.To teach clinical skills this structure of TBL was modified and with use of OSCE following strategy was planned as intervention. First of all, the students were provided with the resource material regarding the skills to be taught. Then a formative OSCE session was organized where students were divided into groups each with 5 students. They were rotated in two OSCE stations. First each student one by one was supposed to perform the task that was clearly documented and was evaluated by peers and facilitator. Immediate feedback from peers and facilitators was given to each student. Students were also instructed to discuss among themselves and designate roles also to make a plan and act like team in performing task on OSCE station 2.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control group | No intervention | Control group (Group A) undergo traditional teaching of skills as routinely carried out in gynecology department during clinical clerkship of three weeks. |
| Experimental group | Experimental | Group B undergo intervention in the form of learning session where OSCE will be implemented on principles of Team-based learning. Receives: Other: modification of OSCE using TBL format |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Scores of OSCE stations
post test scores at two OSCE stations (higher post test scores would mean better outcome)
Measured: 4 weeks (at the end of intervention for experimental group and at the end of clerkship for control group
