Resident and attending perceptions of direct observation in internal medicine: a qualitative study

ConclusionsIn an internal medicine training programme, perceptions of what constitutes direct observation can lead to under ‐recognition and hinder acceptance in workplace‐based assessment and learning. Our results suggest a reframing of ‘direct observation’ for residents and attending physicians, by explicitly identifying desired skills in non‐procedurally‐based specialties. These findings may help CBME‐ba sed training programmes improve the process of direct observation, leading to enhanced assessment and learning.
