In order to improve the system of evaluation in the discipline of Morphology, a final test of Morphology II was made by using the modality of objective structured practical examination (OSPE). The instrument to be applied in the test was prepared by the collective of professors. The following conditions were necessary: a correspondence between the evaluation and the general objectives and content of the subject, that the test was clear and allowed to measure soundness that the teaching aids were in accordance with the instrument, and that the process and the product were evaluated through the observation of their perfomance. 3 circuits of 10 stations each were created. The tests were evaluated by the same professor who controlled the marks given to the students. At the end of the test, the previously agreed evaluative criteria were taken into account and the final mark was given. The evaluations obtained by the students were 3 and 4. Most of then got 4, according to the criteria of validity, reliability and soundness. This type of test was accepted by the students. Professors should continue working with the questions of the stations of the different circuits. The objective structured examination is a method that may be used in Basic Sciences.
