TL;DR
The use of videotapes of operations enabled multiple raters to assess a performance reliably and shortened assessment times by 80% and shows potential as a means of evaluating the performance of advanced laparoscopic procedures by surgical trainees.
Abstract
The use of videotapes of operations enabled multiple raters to assess a performance reliably and shortened assessment times by 80%. This assessment technique shows potential as a means of evaluating the performance of advanced laparoscopic procedures by surgical trainees.

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
1,043 Citations1997Richard K. Reznick, Glenn Regehr +3 more
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.
Journal of the American College of SurgeonsLaparoscopic training on bench models: better and more cost effective than operating room experience?1
735 Citations2000Daniel J. Scott, Patricia C. Bergen +8 more
Intense training improves video-eye-hand skills and translates into improved operative performance for junior surgery residents, and surgical curricula should contain laparoscopic skills training.
Academic MedicineComparing the psychometric properties of checklists and global rating scales for assessing performance on an OSCE-format examination
721 Citations1998Glenn Regehr, Helen MacRae +2 more
Global rating scales scored by experts showed higher inter-station reliability, better construct validity, and better concurrent validity than did checklists, suggesting that global rating scales administered by experts are a more appropriate summative measure when assessing candidates on performance-based examinations.
The American Journal of SurgeryAssessment of technical skills transfer from the bench training model to the human model
538 Citations1999Dimitri J Anastakis, Glenn Regehr +5 more
Training on a bench model transfers well to the human model, suggesting strong potential for transfer to the operating room and post-hoc tests indicated that both bench and cadaver training were superior to text learning and that bench andcadaverTraining were equivalent.
