Abstract

Purpose: New concise tools must be developed to assess reliably and validly the core residency competencies identified by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

Participants: Eighteen content experts (residency program directors).

Methods: A 1-page Ophthalmic Clinical Exercise Examination (OCEX) checklist, for use during observed resident-patient interactions, was developed by an American Board of Ophthalmology taskforce. The OCEX checklist was sent to 18 content experts for their review and constructive comments.

Results: Experts' comments were incorporated, establishing face and content validity.

Conclusions: The OCEX has face and content validity. It can be used to assess a resident's patient care skills, medical knowledge, and interpersonal skills. Reliability and predictive validity still need to be determined.
