The Use of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination With a Standardized Patient Actor to Assess Professionalism and Communication for the Oral Certifying Examination: The Initial Experience of the American Board of Urology

Initial data suggest that the P/C OSCE is a distinct construct from SOEs that specifically assesses P/C skills in the oral certification process.
