[A standardized practical examination for title revalidation of graduates of foreign medical schools].
The University of Chile, backed by its extensive experience in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), performs the practical exam to graduates of foreign medical school in this format. This test format would give more guarantees of validity and fairness as compared with the previous oral examination that was required for title revalidation. ⋯ The possibility of obtaining comparable results in a transparent process makes the OSCE the assessment tool of choice for title revalidation of physicians migrating from foreign countries.
