TL;DR
In the future, performance-based testing methods such as the OSCE should become more important as an evaluative parameter in assessing the clinical performance of postgraduate surgical trainees.

In the structured clinical examination the variables and complexity of the examination are more easily controlled, its aims can be more clearly defined, and more of the student's knowledge can be tested.

Reliance on subjective clinical evaluations as the sole measure of clinical ability is clearly not warranted because the subjective scores in this study did not correlate highly with objective tests of either knowledge or performance.
