The Structured Clinical Operative Test (SCOT) in dental competency assessment

British Dental Journal
P A Mossey, J P Newton

Abstract

This paper describes a method of assessment of invasive clinical procedures which are currently being devised, and which are perceived to be a method that may be used to complement OSCEs in overall clinical skills assessment. The objective of the Structured Clinical Operative Tests (SCOT) is to introduce a greater level of objectivity to the assessment of operative clinical skills. Invasive or irreversible clinical operative procedures from a large part of dental undergraduate training and are by their very nature precluded from OSCE scenarios. It is also important to test intraoperative skills, communication skills and contingency management, and performance of these with awareness of the psychosocial context and ethical framework. The paper describes the use of checklists in the monitoring of clinical operative skills in a more authentic clinical situation using the SCOT. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: Continuous assessment should a) record achievement of competency in as objective a manner as possible and b) should encourage continuous self-evaluation. In the SCOT the students reflect on their clinical performance and in consultation with their supervisors record their plans to improve their competence in that skill or procedure in t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
