Station time requirements for performance-based examinations: Their influence on reliability and validity

Within the past fifteen years there has been increasing interest in using performance-based examinations to supplement or replace written examinations designed to assess clinical competence in medical education. Despite the widespread interest in this type of assessment method, obtaining reliable performance estimates remains a major obstacle in their use. For acceptable estimates usually 12 to 25 medical cases must be included in the examination. With each case taking between 20 and 30 minutes to complete, the administration of a performance-based test is unfeasible for many medical schools.
