Abstract: The objective of the study is to determine the correlation between clinical rotation grade to an Objective Structured Clinical Exam. A total of 125 subjects were gathered from Far Eastern University-Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) Batch 2014-2016 who have undergone an Objective Structured Clinical Exam and with Clinical Rotation Grade after obtaining permission from Far Eastern University-Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation School of Physical Therapy. Out of the 125 subjects, eighty-two (82) subjects were included upon applying the exclusion criteria. Forty-three (43) subjects were excluded, 42 subjects failed to pass the 1st take of the OSCE and one subject due to non-completion of the Clinical Rotation Grade. This is a Retrospective Correlational Pilot Study. Participants were gathered from Far Eastern University-Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation Batch 2014 to 2016 using a purposive sampling. A letter of permission was given to the Dean of School of Physical Therapy to get the list of students from Batch 2014 to 2016. The data that have been collected were raw Clinical Rotation Grades and Raw OSCE grades. Included will be the 5th year Physical Therapy students who completed the whole 10 month internship program in FEU-NRMF who participated in OSCE. Excluded will be those who took the OSCE for the second time. Using Pearson Correlation Coefficient, all gathered data, which are raw Clinical Rotation Grades and raw OSCE Grades, were encoded and showed R=0.32, which signifies a weak correlation. This retrospective correlational pilot study concluded that Clinical Rotation Grades are weakly correlated to Objective Structured Clinical Exams. It measures only a part of one's clinical performance. Other type of examinations are required for a medical student's competency to be evaluated. The researchers recommend that medical universities to use an Objective Structured Clinical Exam on evaluating a student's performance as an adjunct to other evaluation tools that they may have and not to use it exclusively. The researchers also recommend for them to have a standardized grading scale for the OSCE so that it will be more be reliable to use and lastly, to put this pilot study into consideration for a larger scale.
