The assessment of competence in clinical skills has become more frequent in published healthcare curricula and syllabuses recently. There are agreed mechanisms for the assessment of competence in the post-graduate environment, but no consensus within the undergraduate curriculum. This paper seeks to develop an agreed generic checklist for the assessment of competence in forceps exodontia.
A modified Delphi process was undertaken with representatives from all UK dental schools (n = 13) to develop a generic checklist for the assessment of competence in forceps exodontia. A content analysis of the assessments employed by each school was used to help discussion and inform the Delphi process.
Seven schools currently employ a summative assessment of competence in forceps exodontia, with the majority employing a structured clinical objective test (n = 6). From the seven assessments, there were a total of 29 putative items and 10 putative domains identified for a generic checklist. These were reduced to five domains and 19 items through the content analysis and Delphi process, and a generic overarching checklist was created.
Using this generic checklist, it may now be possible to pool data inter-institution to perform more powerful analyses on how our students obtain, or fail to obtain competence in forceps exodontia.
最近,在已发表的医疗保健课程和教学大纲中,越来越频繁地评估临床技能的能力。在研究生环境中有评估能力的既定机制,但在本科课程中没有共识。本文旨在为评估产钳拔牙的能力制定一份通用的、达成共识的清单。
采用改良德尔菲法,邀请来自英国所有牙科学校的代表(n=13)参与产钳拔牙能力评估的通用清单的制定。对每所学校使用的评估进行内容分析,以帮助讨论并为德尔菲法提供信息。
目前有 7 所学校对产钳拔牙的能力进行总结性评估,其中大多数采用结构化临床客观测试(n=6)。从这 7 项评估中,共确定了 29 个潜在项目和 10 个潜在领域,以用于通用清单。通过内容分析和德尔菲法,这些内容被简化为 5 个领域和 19 个项目,并创建了一个通用的总体清单。
使用这个通用清单,现在可能可以在机构之间汇总数据,以便更有力地分析我们的学生如何获得或未能获得产钳拔牙的能力。
