TL;DR
Assessment of technical skills can assess residents' surgical skills with high reliability and validity and have possible application for identifying residents who need additional training and might provide a mechanism to ensure competence of surgical skills.
Abstract
Objective, structured assessment of technical skills can assess residents' surgical skills with high reliability and validity. These assessments have possible application for identifying residents who need additional training and might provide a mechanism to ensure competence of surgical skills.

British journal of surgeryObjective structured assessment of technical skill (OSATS) for surgical residents
2,242 Citations1997Jenepher Martin, Glenn Regehr +5 more
This study aimed to compare the reliability of three scoring systems, to compare live and bench formats and to assess construct validity of a test of operative skill.
The American Journal of SurgeryTesting technical skill via an innovative “bench station” examination

The OSATS demonstrates high reliability and construct validity, suggesting that it can effectively measure residents' technical ability outside the operating room using bench model simulations.
The American Journal of SurgeryDevelopment of a Model for Training and Evaluation of Laparoscopic Skills
664 Citations1998Anna M. Derossis, Gerald M. Fried +4 more
A model was developed to evaluate laparoscopic skills and construct validity was demonstrated by measuring significant improvement in performance with increasing residency training, and with practice.

546 Citations1993Richard K. Reznick
A methodologic framework for skill acquisition, adapted from the educational psychology literature, is discussed and five methods of assessing technical skills are presented.
Academic MedicineValidation of an objective structured assessment of technical skill for surgical residents
358 Citations1996Hayley G. Faulkner, Glenn Regehr +2 more
Scores on the OSATS accurately reflect the independent opinions of faculty regarding the technical skills of senior residents, suggesting that it is a valid measure of technical skill for these individuals.
The American Journal of SurgeryReliability and construct validity of a Structured Technical Skills Assessment Form
257 Citations1994Christopher P. Winckel, Richard K. Reznick +2 more
The incorporation of structured guidelines to the assessment of technical skill leads to high inter-rater reliability and construct validity, which ultimately may result in improved and reproducible evaluations of surgical trainees.

A structured laparoscopic skills course stressing knot tying and suturing is an effective way to develop dexterity and significantly improve the performance of laparoscopy tasks.
Surgical EndoscopyA method of objectively evaluating improvements in laparoscopic skills
112 Citations1998Jaeyoon Chung, Jonathan M. Sackier
Residents who attend a formal workshop in endoscopy can gain significant improvement in skills and the methods described in this study can be used to quantitatively measure this improvement throughout a resident's training.

101 Citations2000Lynn S. Mandel
Most programs teach surgical skills in the operating room and through lectures, but only 29% of reporting programs provide formal surgical curricula, and regardless of formal curricula there was much agreement in respondents' ratings of 60 different skills and procedures as “essential,” “important,’ “nice to know” or “unimportant.”
