Abstract
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires US residency programs to assess ophthalmology residents for competency in 6 core areas. Ophthalmic surgical skills are currently part of the ACGME "Patient Care" competency, although some have advocated for a seventh competency, "Surgical Skills." The Ophthalmology Surgical Competency Assessment Rubric for Strabismus Surgery in Resident Training (OSCAR:Strabismus) tool was designed to aid in the assessment of surgical skills using procedure specific behavioral anchors. The present study evaluated inter-rater agreement of the OSCAR:Strabismus tool in the assessment of resident performance. OSCAR:Strabismus evaluations of resident surgical strabismus cases were performed by alpha multinational group of faculty strabismus surgeons. Cronbach a statistical analysis of the completed evaluations revealed high inter-rater agreement, indicating the OSCAR:Strabismus is a reliable tool to facilitate assessment of resident strabismus surgical skills.
