Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcomes are the OSAT scores, based on a multi-item assessment that measures 9 aspects of surgical technique. Each item is rated from 1-5 using a Likert scale where 1 signifies a low and 5 a high score. For this study, the minimum score on the OSAT was 5 and the maximum achievable score was 45. This instrument has acceptable internal reliability (there was a single evaluator) and its validity is supported through correlations with conceptually related measures from a previously validated surgical skills Global Rating Scale.	—
