TLDR
Providing simultaneous feedback to students via the use of voice overlays of videotaped history taking and physical examination skills performance formed the basis of a study with third year medical students.Abstract:
As indicated by George Engel (1982) the instructor being present while a student takes a history and performs a physical examination has been notoriously lacking in the clinical years of a medical student's education. Similarly in the pre-clinical Introduction to Clinical Medicine courses when basic instruction in these skills are taught, the incompatibilities of the instructor's and student's schedules make review with the instructor difficult. These incompatibilities make valid assessment of the student's skills difficult and feedback to the student almost non-existent. This study demonstrates the use of simultaneous recorded running commentary to enhance videotape as a means of providing meaningful feedback to the student that aids learning and a valid means of assessing the skills of the student.read more

Tools for Direct Observation and Assessment of Clinical Skills of Medical Trainees: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: Although many tools are available for the direct observation of clinical skills, validity evidence and description of educational outcomes are scarce.
Tools for Direct Observation and Assessment of Clinical Skills of Medical Trainees
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify tools used to assess medical trainees' clinical skills with actual patients and to summarize the evidence of their validity and outcomes, but their characteristics and outcomes have not been compared systematically.

TL;DR: The authors’ purpose is to explain consequences validity evidence and propose a framework for organizing its collection and interpretation and explain the type, quantity, and rigor of consequences evidence required depending on the assessment and the claims for its use.

Is video review of patient encounters an effective tool for medical student learning? A review of the literature
TL;DR: Video review with self-assessment alone was not found to be generally effective, but when linked with expert feedback it was superior to traditional feedback alone.

Evaluation of students' physical examination skills during their surgery clerkship.
TL;DR: Students' physical examination skills improved slightly during their clerkship, however, no relationship was found between clerkship rotation and performance and these findings suggest unsupervised experiences during the third year do not positively influence student performance with physical examination skill proficiency.

TL;DR: A videotaped evaluation methodology was used to assess second year medical students' physical examination skills and provided several benefits: patients are not required, thus increasing flexibility in scheduling and evaluation opportunities, and technical staff can monitor and run the videotaping sessions.
