Development and psychometric evaluation of virtual consultation scoring rubric for the standardized patient.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Standardized patients (SPs) are integral to training medical students in virtual consultation (VC) skills. A key aspect of their role is the ability to evaluate student performance and deliver meaningful feedback to enhance learning. This study aimed to design and validate a scoring rubric specifically for SPs to assess undergraduate medical students' performance during VC encounters.

Methods

This study adopted a seven-step approach to rubric development. The content and face validation of the rubric were conducted with the participation of relevant stakeholders. The reliability of the rubric was assessed by measuring the internal consistency and the inter-rater, intra-rater and test-retest correlation coefficient of the SPs evaluation scores of medical students
