Introduction: Evaluation is one of the most important goals of educational programs in order to improve the quality of clinical education and assess students' practical skills. Considering the importance of modern evaluation in clinical education and the acquisition of professional competence of medical students and the weaknesses of conventional evaluation methods, the present study was conducted with the aim of reviewing the effect of evaluation by direct observation on clinical skills in medical students.
Information sources or data: This review study was conducted by searching for sources in the databases Magiran, SID, IranDoc, and Civilica, and the external databases PubMed, Scopus, WOS, Google Scholar, Ovid, and Embase.
Selection methods for study: The search was conducted using keywords separately and in combination. The inclusion criteria included all articles published in Persian and English with full access to the text and content of the article.
Combine content and results: The findings of the studies indicate the impact of the DOPS assessment method on students' clinical skills, including arterial blood sampling (ABG) and central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring, dressing, venipuncture and suctioning, performing vaginal delivery, vaginal examination and plyometrics, arterial blood sampling and endotracheal suctioning, intravenous catheterization and dressing changes, fluoride therapy, fissure sealant therapy, health education, post-internship scores, and student satisfaction in nursing, midwifery, operating room, emergency medicine, and dentistry.
Conclusion: The DOPS assessment method is not only a suitable method for assessing students in practical skills, but also an acceptable method for learning and addressing students' weaknesses in practical skills.
