Validity evidence for endoscopic ultrasound competency assessment tools: Systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Competent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) performance requires a combination of technical, cognitive, and non-technical skills. Direct observation assessment tools can be employed to enhance learning and ascertain clinical competence; however, there is a need to systematically evaluate validity evidence supporting their use.
