Article Synopsis
- A competency assessment tool was developed within a national program to evaluate the quality of minimally invasive right hemicolectomy surgeries for colon cancer patients.
- The study compared evaluations from expert surgeons, trained medical students, and untrained medical students analyzing six surgical videos using this tool.
- Results showed that trained medical students exhibited high reliability in their assessments, aligning closely with expert surgeons, while untrained students rated lower quality surgeries more favorably.*
