University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Dentistry

“Students were highly engaged in the process.”

Video Capture Technology Helps Dental Students Recognize Strengths and Weaknesses

The Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) is a common assessment tool throughout the healthcare professions measuring how well medical students perform in a wide range of practitioner-patient interactions. The UIC College of Dentistry uses EchoVideo’s Universal Capture capabilities to record each student’s performance, allowing them to identify what they did well and where they could improve. Furthermore, exam administrators watch the recordings for the evidence they need of each student’s performance.

Echo360's e3 Formula in Action

EchoVideo was designed to help instructors and students get more out of video content, but the UIC College of Dentistry goes a step further by recording students. Cameras are set up in the treatment room during the OSCE, allowing all stakeholders to watch each student interact with standardized patients and monitor their performance.

Equity

By recording all students, the UIC College of Dentistry is providing the same information to every learner and empowering them with an equal chance to succeed.

Engagement

Practicing real-life skills in a clinical environment helps students connect their training to what’s expected from their bedside manner. The UIC College of Dentistry uses EchoVideo Universal Capture to show students what they’re doing and the practical consequences of each word choice.

Evidence

Recording a student’s performance on the OSCE creates a permanent record of what they did, allowing students and instructors alike to watch it until they have all of the evidence they need to improve.

3 Key Takeaways

Recordings on Your Schedule

While the UIC College of Dentistry started by using EchoVideo Universal Capture for personal recordings, they quickly shifted to classroom recordings to take better advantage of scheduling and the ability to start and stop automatically.

Record-Keeping

The OSCE covers interactions ranging from delivering bad news to a patient to recommending lifestyle changes. Recording each scenario with EchoVideo allows UIC College of Dentistry faculty to review each type and provide appropriate feedback to their students.

Video Transcriptions

EchoVideo includes Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) technology that transcribes video content and adds it to a searchable index. This allows students and instructors at the UIC College of Dentistry to quickly find anything they might need to review.
