Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of the Medical Communication Assessment Project Online Preceptor Training Tool. This tool has been designed for licensed physicians that act as examiners and/or preceptors for International Medical Graduates (IMGs). The tool is intended to increase preceptors’ ability and confidence to assess the communication skills of IMGs in an OSCE. The tool allows preceptors to work independently and consists of background information regarding the assessment of IMGs’ communication skills and clinical skills in an OSCE context. Preceptors are required to watch medical interviews that have been selected for demonstration purposes and to rate these interviews using a communication skills checklist, an English Language Proficiency Rating Scale, and a clinical skills checklist. Preceptors will submit their ratings on line and see how their results compare to the ratings of others. Discussion will follow regarding the IMGs performances from an examiner.

No presider for this session.
