Abstract
Procedural skill learning is usually unobserved during post graduate training. This study is an attempt to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of direct observation of procedural skills in a medical school in Northern India for postgraduates in Pediatrics. Eighty procedures performed by 15 trainees were observed by 9 faculty members. Seven of nine assessors considered direct observation to be feasible and non-intrusive in their routine clinical and teaching schedule while 5 out of 9 felt that it was time consuming. All fifteen trainees felt that direct observation enhanced their procedural skills and wished it to be extended to all procedures.
