Clinical examination performance in rural longitudinal medical programmes
Medical students who underwent extended periods of training in rural locations performed similarly in standardised OSCEs compared to those from metropolitan locations. Variations in domain- and discipline-level performance were seen across locations, with rural students performing better in communication skills. Further research exploring the impact of diverse training exposures on OSCE performance is required.
