Gathering Validity Evidence for a Simulation-Based Test of Otoscopy Skills
We explored validity evidence supporting an otoscopy simulator's automated score, demonstrating that this score mainly reflects cognitive skills. Manual assessment therefore still seems necessary at this point and external video-recording is necessary for valid assessment. To improve the reliability, the test course should include more cases to achieve a higher G-coefficient and a higher pass/fail standard should be used.
