The Oral and Maxillofacial Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OMOSATS) examination: a pilot study

The aim of this study was to develop a simulated technical skills examination specific to oral and maxillofacial surgery, assessing the validity of the test and its psychometric properties and obtaining feedback on the examination from both resident trainees and expert evaluators. The Oral and Maxillofacial Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OMOSATS) examination is a simulated procedure-based eight-station technical skills examination. Fourteen oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) residents of various levels participated in 12-minute surgical tasks and were evaluated by blinded expert OMFS surgeons.
