Resumen Introducción el examen clínico objetivo estructurado (ECOE) se ha posicionado como una herramienta clave para evaluar habilidades de manera óptima y fiable. Este estudio buscó analizar las tendencias y el perfil de la producción científica sobre su uso en ciencias de la salud. Materiales y métodos se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal a datos bibliométricos. Se incluyeron 844 artículos sobre el ECOE publicados en revistas indexadas en Scopus entre 2018 y 2022. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y transversal a datos bibliométricos con la herramienta Scival. Resultados el número de publicaciones se ha incrementado desde 2018 hasta 2022, la mayor parte de estas están en revistas científicas de alto impacto. La mayor parte de artículos tuvo colaboración nacional (42,4%) y la colaboración internacional presentó más citas por cada publicación (6,5). La institución con mayor actividad científica fue la Harvard University, además de ser la de mayor impacto. Las revistas Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning y Medical Science Educator tienen más publicaciones, pero la Journal of Educational Evaluation for Health Professions (1.744) tiene un mayor impacto normalizado. Zabar Sondra es quien lidera la producción científica, pero MacArio Alex (0,91) tiene un mayor impacto ponderado. Conclusiones la investigación se ha incrementado, principalmente en revistas científicas de mayor prestigio e impacto, y con colaboración nacional más frecuente; además, existe mayor participación de autores e instituciones de Norteamérica. Introduction The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) has positioned itself as a key tool to assess skills optimally and reliably. This study sought to analyze the trends and profile of the scientific production on its use in health sciences. Materials and methods A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on bibliometric data. We included 844 articles on OSCE published in journals indexed in Scopus between 2018 and 2022. A descriptive and cross-sectional analysis was performed to bibliometric data with the Scival tool. Results The number of publications has increased from 2018 to 2022, most of these are in high impact scientific journals. Most articles had national collaboration (42.4%) and international collaboration presented more citations per publication (6.5). The institution with the highest scientific activity was Harvard University, in addition to being the one with the highest impact. The journals Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning and Medical Science Educator have more publications, but the Journal of Educational Evaluation for Health Professions (1,744) has a higher normalized impact. Zabar Sondra leads in scientific output, but MacArio Alex (0.91) has a higher weighted impact. Conclusions Research has increased, mainly in scientific journals of greater prestige and impact, and with more frequent national collaboration; in addition, there is greater participation of authors and institutions from North America.
