In my unit of instruction, I think that the outcomes on clinical competence and effective communication can be tested, usually with OSCE as a summative evaluation of history taking and PE skills. Relaying findings to examiner will serve as a test for communication skills.
Maybe you can also consider doing a simulation session and the scenario is history taking and PE with a standardized patient? You will be able to observe the KSA all together for formative assessment and then debrief the student after. I just don't know which is less labor and time intensive.
