Aim: To introduce the first trial of the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) into orthoptists educational programs for undergraduate students. Materials and methods: Thirty fourth grade students who had finished their clinical practice course participated in this trial to evaluate their clinical skills by the OSCE. The students were divided into two groups. One group consists of 8 pairs and the other group consists of 7 pair of students. Each group rotated through 9 stations. Each station consists of a small room where students fill a questionnaire based on the results of ophthalmic examination. The same questionnaire was prepared for each group based on a simulated clinical case. Each pair of students rotated every five minutes from the first station to the eight stations, in the ninth station they spent ten minutes . The questionnaire for the first station consists of a medical interview. In the seventh station, the patients got detailed explanation on the results of exams and plan of treatments. In addition, two standardized patients and four simulated patients were prepared to closely imitate a clinical case. Two persons were responsible for time checking, and eight orthoptists evaluated the students perform according to the checking list included in the questionnaires. Results: 1. We performed OSCE within ninety minute as expected. 2. We found that most students communicate with patients with sympathetic attitude. However, the capacity to attain a correct diagnosis from data of clinical examinations and pick up problems from medical interview were poor. 3. Sixty-Six percent of students approved this simulated clinical test. Conclusion: We found that the OSCE was useful educational methods not only for the students but also for the teachers. However, many aspects should be improved for the future application of this method in orthoptic students' education. We continue our research for to develop more specialized OSCE suitable for education of orthoptic students.
