Abstract

Internship is an appropriate time for enhancement and assessment of clinical skills. This study was undertaken with an objective to assess the interns at their workplace by DOPS for the procedural skill of blood collection. Mean scores of DOPS rating increased from 1st DOPS (5.45±0.43) to 2nd DOPS (7.56±0.51) and were sustained during the 3rd DOPS (7.84±0.34). Confidence levels and satisfaction of interns increased from 72% to 88% to 95% by third DOPS. DOPS tests the ability to perform a particular procedure in a real-life clinical setting. This study shows that DOPS is one of the useful tools in WPBA.
