The training of dentists at the modern European level is one of the important prerequisites for reducing the main dental diseases in the population of Ukraine. Dentistry is one of the important components in the direction of development and improvement of primary health care for the population of our country. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to analyze the experience of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of the Odesa National Medical University in the preparation, conduct and ways of improving OSCE-2 among students of dental and international faculties. During the fall semester, the department prepared methodological support for OSCE, namely passports of two stations, tasks, algorithms and checklists. All tasks were adapted to the technical capabilities of the clinical base of the department. OSCE was carried out for 3 days. The students of the academic groups were divided into examination groups of 10 people each. During the exam there was a constant video and audio recording of students’ answers. The assessment of the student was based on a checklist. A certain number of points was assigned to each point of the algorithm, depending on the complexity. The specific weight (number of points) of each item could be different depending on the number of items and the complexity of the implementation of a particular item. As a result of this work, the following was established: an objective structured clinical examination allows the most objective assessment of the knowledge, skills and practical skills of students; during the examination of the OSCE, the students of the dental and international faculties demonstrated a fairly high level of practical skills and abilities in pediatric dentistry acquired during the training period; in order to improve the quality of training of young specialists, it is necessary to constantly conduct trainings for students.
Key words: dentistry, teaching, students, state exam.
