Agreement and reliability of global rating versus checklist scores in a high-stakes undergraduate OSCE in Rwanda

Abstract

Checklist and GRS scores in the OSCEs demonstrated strong positive correlation, but GRS showed a higher discriminatory ability, identifying performance differences that checklists did not capture. Incorporating GRS alongside checklists may enhance the robustness of high-stakes clinical assessment.
