目的。本研究检验了技术技能客观结构化评估（OSATS）的同时有效性，这是一种针对普通外科住院医师的技术技能新测试。方法。 1994-95 年，多伦多大学的 12 名住院医师（其中 6 名是大四学生，即五年级学生，六名是大三学生，即三年级学生）根据 OSATS 分数和外科教师进行了培训级别排名。 OSATS 和教师排名之间的对应性使用 Spearman 排名相关系数进行评估。结果。高级住院医师的考试成绩与教师排名之间的相关性普遍较高，但初级住院医师的相关性较低。结论。 OSATS 的分数准确地反映了教师对高级住院医师技术技能的独立意见，表明它是衡量这些人技术技能的有效指标。然而，这些分数并没有重现初级住院医师的教师排名。这是否是 OSATS 或教师排名的失败需要进一步研究。
Purpose. This study examined the concurrent validity of the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS), a new test of technical skill for general surgery residents.Method. Twelve residents (six in their senior, or fifth, year and six in their junior, or third, year) at the University of Toronto in 1994-95 were ranked within level of training according to their OSATS marks and by surgical faculty. Correspondence between OSATS and faculty rankings was assessed using Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients.Results. The correlations between test scores and faculty rankings were generally high for the senior residents but low for the junior residents.Conclusion. 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 scores did not, however, reproduce faculty rankings of the junior residents. Whether this was a failing of the OSATS or the faculty rankings requires further study.
