Abstract

Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) provide reliable and standardized means for assessing the performance of core clinical skills. Our previous experience with entrustable professional activity-based multidisciplinary OSCEs suggests that this exercise offers just-in-time baseline information regarding critical intern skills. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic forced medical education programs to reimagine such educational experiences. For the safety of all of the participants, the Internal Medicine and Family Medicine residency programs pivoted from an in-person OSCE to a hybrid model (combination of in-person and virtual encounters) while maintaining the goals of the OSCE administered in previous years. This article describes an innovative pivot to redesign and implement a previous in-person OSCE to a hybrid OSCE model for interns without compromising intern clinical skills assessment or satisfaction of intern residents and faculty observers.
