Clinical performance of medical students in Korea in a whole-task emergency station in the objective structured clinical examination with a standardized patient complaining of palpitations

The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical performance of third-year medical students in a whole-task emergency case OSCE station that simulated a patient visiting the ED due to sustained palpitations. The results will be able to provide medical teachers the information on how to help students in preparation for the clinical skills test of the KMLE. A total of 150 third-year medical students who attended the first day of the Busan-Gyeongnam Clinical Skill Examination (BGCSE), which was summative and mandatory, were included in this study. Students were from 5 universities in Busan: Dong-A University, Gyeongsang National University, Kosin University, Inje University, and Pusan National University.
