    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Orthopaedic Surgery Training

    Background:

    • Medical education relies on diverse assessment methods.
    • Evaluating the effectiveness of different assessment types is crucial for curriculum development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the correlation between multiple choice, viva voce, and consultant assessments in orthopaedic undergraduate training.
    • To determine the reliability of different assessment methods in a short course setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of marks from 327 students in an Orthopaedic Undergraduate Course at the University of Bristol.
    • Comparison of results from a multiple choice questionnaire (84 questions), viva voce (30 questions), and consultant assessment (4 questions).

    Main Results:

  • The consultant assessment showed the lowest correlation with the multiple choice and viva voce marks.
  • Multiple choice and viva voce assessments demonstrated better agreement.

    • Conclusions:

    • Consultant assessments may be less reliable in short orthopaedic courses.
    • Supplementing consultant grades with objective examinations, like multiple choice or viva voce, is recommended for improved assessment validity.
