Objective Structured Clinical Examinations Santa Teresita is creating an environment of study based on a cutting-edge educational paradigm. One of these current teaching tools is the objective structured clinical exams which are basic circuits of assessment stations, where a range of practical clinical skills are assessed by an examiner using a previously determined objective marking scheme. The curriculum is competency-based and outcome oriented. The goal is to evaluate performance for the effective application of knowledge and skill in the practice setting. Competency assessment techniques address psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains. Competencies can range from generic to clinical practice in any setting, or specific to clinical specialty, basic or advanced. Evidence-Based Learning Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) integrates clinical expertise with the best external evidence. The process of EBM is turning clinical problems into questions, and then using critical appraisal techniques to determine validity and applicability of current research findings and use this research and clinical expertise for the basis of making clinical decisions. Evidence-Based Learning is a powerful tool for life-long learning. Outcome of Learning Each student’s success is evaluated by outcome learning. It is the development of a curriculum to teach the identified outcomes. It creates assessment strategies to ensure that the students master the specified outcomes while asserting that all students can succeed. We desire to aid all students in seeking the best means of learning retention by meeting educational needs of each person. The identified learning outcomes include:
