DOPS, which stands for Direct Observation of Procedural Skills, is also known as clinical procedural skills assessment. It is an essential component of standardized training for resident physicians and formative evaluation in academic education and has always been highly valued. However, as a relatively new concept and method—although it has been circulating in China for quite some time—the utilization of DOPS by educators is not ideal due to various concerns. Recently, this public account will continue to upload three DOPS examples and analyses for everyone to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Part One: Keywords - "Realistic Scenario-Based"

    Due to the influence of traditional skill teaching and assessment methods, our skill teaching has always been unable to break away from the atmosphere of "performance" + "examination." Even in DOPS competitions, there is still a strong "verbal" style, focusing on speed and quantity, scoring based on knowledge points, and neglecting humanistic education. There is still a gap from the real world, which is a world of authenticity away. Teachers ask, what is the standard for DOPS?

    Here, it is necessary to emphasize the fundamental principle of DOPS:

"Realistic Scenario-Based"

"Realistic Scenario-Based"

"Realistic Scenario-Based"!

    So, in a realistic scenario, how do we operate? Do we loudly recite the operation equipment and steps, or do we interact genuinely with patients to gain trust and create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere? Obviously, it is the latter.

    We entrust the operation to the students based on trust, and we are just quiet observers, protecting the safety of patients while observing the students' operations, and providing timely feedback after the event in a "reflective," "interactive," "exploratory," and "sandwich" style.

    Here, not only for teachers but also for students, some disruptive guidance is also needed.

    This DOPS video comes from Taiwan, China, and is only 7 minutes long. It features characteristics based on a realistic process and contains medical humanities worth pondering.
