Validity evidence as a key marker of quality of technical skill assessment in OTL –HNS

ConclusionWe present the validity evidence reported for 16 rater‐based tools that could be used for work‐based assessment of OTL–HNS residents in the operating room. The articles included in our review were consistently deficient in evidence for response process and consequences. Rater‐based assessment tools that support high‐stakes decisions that impact the learner and programs should include several sources of validity evidence. Thus, use of any assessment should be done with careful consideration of the context‐specific validity evidence supporting score interpretation, and we encourage deliberate continual assessment quality‐monitoring.
