Objective: To determine the impact of using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSAT) as a formative assessment tool on the learning curve of postgraduate trainees performing surgery in live setting.
Material and Method: It is a quantitative, quasi-experimental study conducted at Gynecology department of Services Institute of Medical Sciences from January 10, 2023 to September 30, 2023. Trainees were assessed in five OSAT encounters by faculty using standardized structured scoring sheet using global rating scale on a 5-point Likert scale. The data was analyzed using S.P.S.S version 22.0.
Results: Mean scores of trainees significantly improved with each OSAT encounter.
Conclusion: In conclusion, OSAT using the global rating scale in live setting, is validated by the fact that the scores improved with successive OSAT encounters
