Assigning Responsibility for Direct
Observation
Early in training, direct observation should be used to
identify learners who have outlier performance. Program
directors and faculty should “frontload” observation as part
of learners’ baseline needs assessment. This is especially
important when learners transition to new roles and
responsibilities (i.e., July in the United States and Canada,
which is the start of the academic year). Early observation
can identify learners who need additional support, coaching,
and remediation. Just four observations can detect outlier
performance.77 Over time, the focus of direct observation can
shift to assessment and feedback for ongoing skill
development. Most importantly, learners should be
evaluated multiple times, in multiple contexts, across
multiple evaluators, and longitudinally over time. Although
rater training can improve the quality of assessments, the
best validity evidence occurs when there is broad sampling of
skills.
At the programmatic level, it is helpful to identify how the
responsibility for direct observation snapshots can be shared.
Consider adopting a “divide and conquer” approach. Parse
out what skills will be observed and assessed on what
rotations. For example, faculty attending on the geriatric
service might be responsible for observing the geriatric
functional assessment. Faculty in the intensive care unit
might be responsible for assessing breaking bad news and
goals of care discussions. Outpatient preceptors could be
responsible for assessing agenda setting and the
musculoskeletal exam. Consider asking core faculty to
identify the skills that should be prioritized for direct
https://t.me/med1917

observation in their specialty. Including core faculty in this
way promotes buy-in to WBA because faculty then observe
skills that they believe are important. As previously
discussed, observations should be aligned with or inform
milestones or EPAs.
Program directors should decide who is responsible for
initiating observation snapshots: learners or faculty. There
are pros and cons to each approach. Placing the responsibility
for direct observation on faculty emphasizes that direct
observation is valued by the program. However, learners
may then feel that direct observation is happening “to them,”
not “for them” or “with them.” Placing the responsibility on
learners can give learners control and ownership of their skill
development. However, learners may become frustrated
when faculty do not observe them when requested. Ideally
faculty and learners should take mutual responsibility and
ownership of the process. That is, faculty initiate direct
observation and learners also ask to be observed when they
need feedback to further develop a clinical skill.
181
Tracking Observations
Programs should create a plan to monitor and track whether
observation is happening. Online evaluation systems
facilitate tracking and allow data to be aggregated by learner
and evaluator. If observations are still recorded on paper, a
process to tally observations is needed. A simple strategy is
posting a piece of paper in the rounding or precepting room
that lists all learners, the minimum number of snapshots
required for each learner, and a place for faculty to initial and
date each time they have done an observation. Smartphone
apps or forms linked to QR codes can also track observations.

One example is the System for Improving and Measuring
Procedural Learning (SIMPL) app that is designed for
observation of surgical procedures using an entrustment type
scale.

This tool has a significant amount of research
behind it and is currently being widely piloted in the United
States. The ACGME also hosts the Direct Observation of
Clinical Care (DOCC) app.

Key Messages About Faculty
Development and Implementation
Direct observation/WBA, which has always been important
in medical education, is a key assessment approach in
competency-based education. Direct observation of clinical
skills followed by feedback is necessary for deliberate
practice and for high-quality supervision. Because there are
multiple threats to frequent, high-quality, valid assessments,
programs need to invest in faculty development to maximize
the effectiveness of direct observation. Faculty development
should utilize rater training techniques that help faculty
develop a shared mental model of clinical skills that is
aligned with high-quality patient-centered care. To improve
direct observation frequency, faculty development should
help faculty identify observation snapshots that are
meaningful for the learner and could improve patient care
quality. Programs need to discuss the importance of direct
observation and feedback with learners. Finally, faculty
development programs should include longitudinal training
and practice since direct observation, assessment, and
feedback are complex skills that require ongoing practice.

1;96(11S):S164-S174.
doi:10.1097/ACM.0000000000004366. This is a
scoping review of the barriers and enablers of
WBA. Identified themes include lack of trainee
and assessor engagement in design, time
constraints of the clinical environment, and
distilling the complex language of competencybased assessments into terms and parameters
assessors and trainees can easily use. This
article discusses the importance of technology
solutions and areas for future research and
innovation.

piece from an international group of

explores different perspectives for variability in
assessment judgments. Three prevailing
approaches to assessor cognition research are
reviewed: assessor as trainable, assessor as

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2923.2011.04025.x. This is a
qualitative study using a grounded theory
approach that was designed to create a
conceptual framework identifying the factors
impacting faculty’s judgments and ratings of
residents after direct observation with patients.
Participants were 44 internal medicine faculty
outpatient preceptors from 16 internal
medicine residency programs in the United
States. Four factors were identified that
explained variability of faculty’s ratings of
residents: variable frames of reference, high
levels of inference, variable approaches to
translating observations to numerical ratings,
and institutional/cultural factors. This article
summarizes the findings in a conceptual model
that describes factors influencing the variability
of observations and judgment during
workplace-based assessment.

multiinstitution, single blind RCT of a rater
training intervention using the techniques of
performance dimension training, frame of
reference training, and spaced learning. The
purpose of this study was to determine
whether rater training could improve WBA
narrative comment quality and accuracy. A
secondary aim was to assess impact on
entrustment rating accuracy. The quality and
specificity of narrative comments improved
with rater training; the effect was mitigated by
inappropriate stringency. Training improved
accuracy of prospective entrustmentsupervision ratings but the effect was more
limited.
