Development and testing of an objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) to assess socio-cultural dimensions of patient safety competency

Conclusions
Results show (1) four OSCE stations evaluating socio-cultural dimensions of PS achieved variation in scores and (2) performance on this OSCE can be evaluated with high reliability, suggesting a single assessor per station would be sufficient. Differences between nursing and medical student performance are interesting; however, it is unclear what factors explain these differences.
