Abstract
The effectiveness of DOPS in assessing procedural skills in various surgical specialities and anaesthesiology has been studied, showing significant improvements in skill performance post‐assessment but, there are limited studies on implementation of DOPS as an assessment tool in the field of Otorhinolaryngology. In this study, we aim to evaluate DOPS as an assessment method to teach and assess the Competency of nasal packing in Skills Lab to MBBS third Prof Part 1 students. We had 160 encounters of DOPS for assessing nasal packing by MBBS students done in skills lab and evaluated its effectiveness as an assessment method. Results of our study showed that DOPS II score was significantly better than DOPS I in all these students. All the faculty and students were satisfied with DOPS as an assessment method. Hence, we can conclude that DOPS can be used as an effective Workplace based assessment method to assess nasal packing skills in MBBS students.
