title: [Video recordings can be used for easier and faster evaluations of the performances of postgraduate trainees].
abstract: Evaluating post-graduate trainees under direct observation is troublesome, and there are concerns about rater-variability. The aim of this study was to explore if video recordings could be used for evaluation. The performances of five trainees were video recorded. The videos were assessed by six supervisors watching either the complete recording or approximately 20 min. Video recording was well tolerated by the patients and the supervisors, but not the trainees. Watching part of the videos was sufficient for assessment. Video recording seems to provide a feasible method of assessing postgraduate trainees.
