TL;DR
The reliability of the OSVE assessment is analyzed using the generalizability theory and a computerized OSVE has been successfully applied with third year undergraduate medical students, enabling a proper discrimination between adequately and poorly performing students.
Abstract
A computerized OSVE has been successfully applied with third year undergraduate medical students. The test score meets psychometric criteria, enabling a proper discrimination between adequately and poorly performing students. The high inter-rater reliability indicates that a single rater is permitted.

Mindful practitioners attend in a nonjudgmental way to their own physical and mental processes during ordinary, everyday tasks, enabling physicians to listen attentively to patients' distress, recognize their own errors, refine their technical skills, make evidence-based decisions, and clarify their values so that they can act with compassion, technical competence, presence, and insight.
JAMAEffect of Communications Training on Medical Student Performance
475 Citations2003Michael J. Yedidia
Communications curricula using an established educational model significantly improved third-year students' overall communications competence as well as their skills in relationship building, organization and time management, patient assessment, and negotiation and shared decision making-tasks that are important to positive patient outcomes.
