e18150 Background: In the last 30 years Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has gained popularity as an objective assessment tool of medical skills. 2014 39 ASCO/ASH curricular milestones (CM) were published a guideline for design postgraduate training hematology/oncology career. Using this CM, we designed OSCE HM-ONCUSAL Methods: Between 26/06/2015 and 15/10/2015, professors at 180 minute which included many CM possible. Eleven excluded: five because they restricted to hematology (CM: 8-9-10-21-22) six related learning processes or complex practices that required simulators (CM:15-16-17-24-29-32). The consisted 9 stations evaluate remaining 28 CM: Station 1: diagnosis staging (CM:1-2-37); 2: recurrence chemotherapy (CM:3-4-5-6-18-37); 3: palliative care (CM:7-11-12-37); 4: Tumor Board (CM:14-19-20-25-26-28-31-33-38-39); 5: Ethics Committee (CM:26-27-33-34-35-36-38); 6: Image evaluation (CM:4); 7: Toxicity 5); 8: Genetic test interpretation 13-23); 9: Interpreting scientific paper (CM:30). All had be completed in minutes. Results: On November 7th, 2015, students from HM-ONCOUSAL, actors 18 observers participated validation study designed. went through provided time. At end OSCE, each participant rated experience on scale 0 10. average rating amongst was 8.3 (r 6-10); 9.3 7-10). participants recommended exam new students. most lauded aspects were: variety examined topics realism when interacting with simulated patients. Conclusions: 1) station HM-ONCOUSAL using is feasible can done 2) highly by students, observers. 3) This method allows student’s skills multiple different perspectives.
