Its main drawback is that large numbers of children are needed to make up for the fatigue factor inherent in prolonged testing periods. Also, examinations mainly include children between 7 and 16 years old. We describe the summative examination used in our institution to evaluate medical students' clinical competencies in pediatrics with realistic available resources and for a wider age-range. We also evaluated different factors known to influence medical students' performances. METHODS This retrospective, descriptive, observational study evaluated the 740 distinct pediatric examination results of fourth-year medical students over 5 years. Their summative examination combined two different assessment methods a structured real-patient examination (SRPE) using standardized assessment grids for the most frequent pediatric diagnoses, and a computer-based written examination (CBWE). RESULTS Our approach defined an appropriate setting for some key elements of the educational objectives of pediatrics training, such as balancing the child-parent-pediatrician triangle and the ability to interact with pediatric patients, from newborns to 16-year-old adolescents, in a child-friendly fashion in realistic scenarios. SRPE scores showed no associations with students' degrees of exposure to specific lecture topics, vignettes, or bedside teaching. The impacts of clinical setting, topic, and individual examiners on SRPE scores was quite limited. Setting explained 1.6%, topic explained 4.5%, and examiner explained 4.7% of the overall variability in SRPE scores. CONCLUSIONS By combining two different assessment
