Evaluating Oral Case Presentations Using a Checklist

Abstract

Senior student-evaluators were able to reliably assess second-year medical students' OCP skills. The results support the use of student-evaluators for peer assessment of OCPs in low-stakes settings, but evidence of leniency compared with faculty assessment suggests caution in using student-evaluators in high-stakes settings. Extending peer assessment to OCPs provides a practical approach for low-resource evaluation of this essential skill.
