Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between OSCE grades and current evaluation modalities in French medical schools. The results showed that OSCE scores designed to assess clinical competence correlated with multiple choice exam grades and traineeship skill grades, while OSCE scores focused on behavioral skills correlated with traineeship skill and behavior grades. The study suggested that OSCEs can enhance the discriminatory capacity of current evaluation modalities.
