Özet
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to design and apply simulation-based Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) to evaluate the clinical skill levels of emergency medicine residents in Medical Toxicology, clinical decision-making and medical management process and to determine the existing deficiencies. Method: Five OSCE stations were created to test residents in medical toxicology. These included two simulated case videos, one standardized patient scenario and two high-fidelity realistic models and applied to the participants within two days. The clinical skill levels of the participants were evaluated at each station with a standardized form by the assessors. All the data were analyzed by transferring to the SPSS 26.0 statistical program. Results: A total of 51 emergency medicine residents were included in the study. The number of people who were successful at a minimum of one station was found to be 19 (37.3%) and the number of people who were not successful at any station was 32 (62.7%). Statistically significant factors between those who were successful at a minimum of one station and those who were unsuccessful at any station were: participation in the simulation study, working in an institution with a medical toxicology unit and working as a resident for > 24 months. Conclusion: This study is one of the few studies conducted with this measurement and evaluation method in the field of medical toxicology. The results highlight the importance of having a standard medical toxicology training curriculum and rotation for emergency medicine residents for the care of poisoned patients.
