Objective Structured Video Examination (OSVE) Toolkit for Teaching and Assessing the ACGME Competencies (Out of Print)

Abstract

Abstract The Objective Structured Video Examination (OSVE) Toolkits are a set of 18–36 self-contained resources to use for teaching and assessing the ACGME competencies with primary foci on systems-based management, practice-based learning and improvement, and communication and interpersonal skills, using geriatrics as the underlying content area. Each OSVE tool consists of four components: an instructor guide; an assessment tool; a video trigger; and a scoring key. The unique feature of these tools is that each is centered around a short (1–3 minutes) video. For example, one trigger shows Mrs. Tang, a 78 year old Japanese American female, who is in for a follow-up posthip surgery clinic visit and her records are missing. Residents are asked questions about how to access records in a short period of time and exercise. Completed tools were piloted in a variety setting (e.g., rounds, morning report). Time to complete each toolkit is approximately 15–20 minutes including scoring time. The OSVE Toolkit is compact and easy to access. All materials come to you on one CD, individualized by ACGME competency or clinical topic.
