Abstract

University College London (UCL) and Newgiza University (NGU) have been in an academic collaboration since 2016. We describe the introduction of a real-time feedback model for OSCE assessments within this partnership. We developed a workshop for faculty members at UCL and NGU to co-develop OSCE stations for use in final year summative exams at NGU. Structured discussions in small groups about content and logistics of each proposed station enabled the teams to jointly finalise the assessment blueprint and station list. A synchronous workshop model has since become a popular method to improve assessment quality and co-develop assessments in international settings.

Keywords: Feedback; OSCE; Partnership.
