Designing and implementing a cultural competence OSCE: lessons learned from interviews with medical students.

Abstract

Designing a ccOSCE experience is challenging but feasible. Students' perspectives highlight a tension between presenting cultural competence in a dedicated station (potentially marginalizing the topic and promoting stereotypes) and spreading it across stations (limiting opportunity for focused teaching). Learning goals should be clear, concise, and effectively communicated to faculty and SPs so their feedback can be standardized and specific.
