About
Hamed Khan is a prominent voice in medical education, best known for his critical re-examination of clinical skills assessment. His most influential work challenges the dominance of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), arguing that their rigid, checklist-driven format undermines the "art" of medicine. In his highly regarded 2017 paper, which has garnered 16 citations and was marked as recommended, Khan contends that OSCEs, while reliable, encourage a performative, compartmentalized approach to patient interaction. He advocates for a paradigm shift toward workplace-based assessments (WPBAs), which he believes better capture a trainee’s holistic clinical reasoning, communication, and professionalism in authentic settings. This contribution has sparked important debate within the medical education community, positioning Khan as a reform-minded thinker who prioritizes the integration of humanistic skills into competency frameworks. His work resonates with educators seeking to balance objectivity with the nuanced, relational aspects of clinical practice, making him a key figure in the ongoing evolution of how future doctors are evaluated.
