Evaluation of a method to assess digitally recorded surgical skills of novice veterinary students

ConclusionReliability measures of 0.60 and above have been suggested as adequate to assess low‐stakes skills. The task‐specific grading rubric used in this study to evaluate veterinary surgical skills captured by a single wide‐angle camera mounted to an overhead surgical light produced scores with acceptable internal consistency, substantial interrater reliability, and marginal generalizability.
ImpactEvaluation of veterinary students’ surgical skills by using digital recordings with a validated rubric improves flexibility when designing accurate assessments.
