TI  - The influence of examiner type on dental students' OSCE scores.
PG  - 89-94
AB  - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in grading of objective 
      structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) at Harvard School of Dental Medicine 
      (HSDM) by full-time faculty examiners, part-time faculty examiners, and 
      postgraduate resident examiners. The OSCE is an evaluation of clinical competence 
      and is used as a multidisciplinary examination at HSDM. Two examiners are 
      selected for each of ten disciplines. Evaluators meet to review the case before 
      the OSCE is given, and faculty examiners are given the opportunity to write exam 
      questions based on the students' expected level of knowledge and ability. All 
      examiners also meet on the day of the OSCE to review the case and discuss 
      relevant issues. Students are randomly assigned to examiners and meet with one 
      examiner at a time in each discipline during the examination. Analysis of OSCE 
      scores on four exams given to HSDM students between 2012 and 2013 suggests that 
      part-time faculty members tended to score students significantly higher than 
      full-time faculty members or postgraduate residents. This may be a result of 
      reduced contact time between students and the part-time faculty although it may 
      also point to a need for more efforts in calibration of the part-time faculty 
      members who take part in the OSCE.
