title: [Implementation of Objective Structured Clinical Examination I of the Department of Nursing--Introduction of Simulation-Based Education].
abstract: The Department of Nursing of the university revised its curriculum for students admitted in 2012 or later, including the introduction of integrated subjects. With the aim of improving the practical clinical skills of students and integrating knowledge, skills, and techniques, the following integrated subjects: Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) I held in the first term of the third-year (15 hours as one credit), and OSCE II held in the second term of the fourth year (30 hours as one credit), were adopted, and simulation-based education was introduced. In this report, we summarized our experience of a simulation education system for nursing students in the year 2014 aiming to improve students' skill of wheelchair transfer of a patient with left hemiplegia and patient's living environment. Many positive responses, such as usefulness in future nursing training, were obtained upon the introduction of the simulation education system. Issues to be addressed in the future, including lack of sufficient time to practice and availability of rooms, were also noticed.
