- Abstract
Aim: Assessments of practical clinical competencies pose a challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reports about OSCE stations admin- istered online show that, despite technical feasibility and acceptance, there is a lingering desire for in-person assessments. Barriers and challenges must therefore also be identified in regard to the future in- tegration of digital competencies into the curriculum. Based on a study investigating the feasibility and acceptance of an online OSCE anamnesis station and the descriptions given by students, simulated patients and examiners of the challenges and limitations, we make re- commendations for necessary future adaptations to anamnesis training and testing in the context of telemedicine. Method: We surveyed students after completion of an OSCE anamnesis station, adapted to the telemedical setting, that was administered as an alternative assessment to 149 students via Zoom ®. Using semistructured interviews, we analyzed the resulting challenges and limitations as seen by all of the participants. Results: We confirm the existence of good technical and organizational feasibility, positive learning experiences through feedback, the acquis- ition of clinical competencies, and a high acceptance of this format as an alternative assessment during the pandemic. Using the semi-struc- tured interviews, it was also possible to analyze additional categories that identify necessary adaptations of this type of format. Conclusion: Adaptation of the content-based training for all of the participants and a targeted revision of the checklists, e.g., regarding com- munication techniques in a telemedicine setting, is required due to the effects of the online format on communication and interactions between students and simulated patients.
