Editorial Comment

Surgical education has moved away from process based curricula toward objective assessments of educational outcomes.1 This effort has increased emphasis on metrics of surgical skill acquisition as an essential component of surgical training programs. Several structured assessment tools have been validated in recent years which rely on manual evaluation (references 9 and 10 in article). While expert review provides the benchmark for skills assessment, because of its labor intensive nature and limitation of scale, there is ongoing work to understand the value of crowd assessed data and automated performance measures.
