Abstract

This reflexive article aims to discuss the objective structured clinical examination and reflect on its use in the
training of student nurses. It is a carefully structured examination which allows the improvement of the validity and reliability
of the evaluation of aspects of the students’ clinical competencies. In nursing, the Objective Structured Clinical Examination
has been introduced as an evaluative tool on undergraduate courses, contributing to improve the training process; however, in
spite of its growing use, few studies have been undertaken by nurses, constituting a challenge for the search for greater scientific
knowledge through research.
