Network analysis of an OSCE-based graduation skills assessment for clinical medical students

From the perspective of medical education reform, reinforcing core skills like "General Physical Examination" and integrating modules to enhance skill synergy is pivotal. Implementing targeted educational interventions, including advanced training and clinical practice courses, will not only address performance disparities but also bolster students' clinical acumen and communication skills, laying a robust foundation for superior patient care. The network analysis approach reveals how module performances interrelate, highlighting central modules whose improvement can boost related competencies. It complements traditional statistics, visualizing these relationships to inform OSCE reforms and enrich medical education.
