Despite its growing importance, current evaluation methods for POCUS competence focus primarily on image acquisition and interpretation, overlooking clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We developed and evaluated an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) that assesses IM residents\u2019 ability to select appropriate ultrasound examinations, interpret pathological images, and integrate these findings into clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over both the 2022 and 2023 academic years, 110 postgraduate year-2 IM residents participated in a longitudinal POCUS curriculum. Eighty-one of these residents participated in a 40-min OSCE case 9 months later. In the OSCE, residents encountered a clinical case involving a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and respiratory distress, requiring both lung and cardiac ultrasounds. Residents\u2019 performance was evaluated using a 50-question rubric that assessed image quality, interpretation, and clinical reasoning. This is a cross-sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most residents successfully identified the appropriate examinations and interpreted pathological images, with 91% performing a lung ultrasound and 96% performing a cardiac ultrasound. However, many residents did not conduct a comprehensive lung exam, and many faced challenges obtaining certain cardiac views. Despite these gaps, most residents articulated appropriate differential diagnoses and management plans.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our OSCE was able to evaluate the scanning patterns of the residents and test their ability to apply abnormal findings to a case, despite variability in the residents\u2019 scanning skills.
