Comparative Study
A comparison of global ratings and checklist scores from an undergraduate assessment using an anesthesia simulator.
To determine the correlation between global ratings and criterion-based checklist scores, and inter-rater reliability of global ratings and criterion-based checklist scores, in a performance assessment using an anesthesia simulator. ⋯ Inter-rater reliability was higher for checklist scores than for global ratings; however, global ratings demonstrated acceptable inter-rater reliability and may be useful for competency assessment in performance assessments using simulators.

The authors developed a cognitive-theory-based checklist of seven important principles for teaching technical skills. They then used the checklist in a workshop for doctors who teach procedural and technical skills. Participants in the workshop found the principle-based approach to be more effective than the traditional "see one, do one, teach one" approach.
