Mixed-methods study reveals moderate satisfaction with objective structured clinical examinations in dental students, highlighting deficits in post-exam feedback and clinical relevance.

Key Points

Dental students report moderate satisfaction with objective structured clinical examination effectiveness, yet half express serious concern regarding clinical relevance.
Overall satisfaction reached 57.4% across assessed cohorts, while only 36.7% reported receiving adequate feedback regarding clinical competency during evaluations.
Mixed-method convergent design with chi-square tests and focus group interviews highlights the urgent need for structured feedback and examiner training.
