About

The study group want to investigate whether doctors, who are in the beginning of their training to become surgeons, can rate themself and their peers using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills. Participants have participated in a 6 weeks course in basic open surgical skills. At the end of the course the participants will be examined at at videotaped test. The participants will be asked to rate their own video and two videos of other trainees' performances. Ratings will be compared to expert ratings.

Full description

The study is a prospective, descriptive study investigating whether doctors are able to rate their own and their peers' performance in a basic open surgery skill course. At the end of the course in basic open surgery, participants will be examined at the post-test as described in the protocol "The effect of group dynamics in surgical skill training". After the participants complete the post-test, participants will be asked to participate in this additional study. The participants will receive no instructions on this additional study, before they complete the study "The effect of group dynamics in surgical skill training".

Enrollment: 22 patients

Sex: All
