Comparison of peer, self, and faculty objective structured clinical examination evaluations in a PharmD nonprescription therapeutics course.

Purpose: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) are a valuable assessment within healthcare education, as they provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate clinical competency, but can be resource intensive to provide faculty graders. The purpose of this study was to determine how overall OSCE scores compared between faculty, peer, and self-evaluations within a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum.

Methods: This study was conducted during the required nonprescription therapeutics course.
