Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Consultation And Relational Empathy (CARE) measure for assessing medical students' empathy during Objective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), addressing the lack of a definitive tool for this purpose.
- Researchers analyzed the CARE measure's psychometric properties and compared scores given by examiners and standardized patients (SPs) to 129 students, finding discrepancies in their evaluations.
- Although the CARE measure had satisfactory overall properties, the inter-rater reliability was deemed poor, suggesting that the evaluators and the type of SP significantly impact the assessment of empathy in medical education.
