Comparative Evaluation of Structured Clinical Case Examination Versus Traditional Long Case Examination for Assessing Clinical Competence in Pediatric Patients in India: A Quasi-experimental Study

SCCE appears to be a useful structured method for assessing the clinical competency of final-year medical students, offering a more organized evaluation of diverse clinical skills. Students reported favorable perceptions of SCCE, particularly regarding clarity of expectations and inclusion of communication skills. In conclusion, SCCE's structured, observational approach has the potential to address inadequacies in clinical evaluation and enhance clinical skill learning in graduates. Further studies are needed to confirm its broader applicability and effectiveness.
