Video Based Assessment Collection Tool


  • Current 2020-21 Fellows:

    The SAGES Video Based Assessment (VBA) Task Force is developing tools to measure competency for various procedures. To test the assessment tools, we need to rapidly build a broad video library, particularly from those at the end of their training. The de-identified video information will be used for education and research only.

    SUBMIT VIDEOS AND BE ENTERED TO WIN A PRIZE
    • Submit two (2) laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos AND two (2) laparoscopic inguinal hernia videos [four (4) videos in total] and be entered into a prize drawing to win FREE REGISTRATION to SAGES 2022 (March 16-19, 2022 in Denver, CO)

    • Submit four videos listed above PLUS two (2) laparoscopic Fundoplication videos [six (6) videos in total] and be entered into a prize drawing to win FREE REGISTRATION and a three-night hotel stay for SAGES 2022.
