Objective To trial in Australian general practice a performance assessment module based on review of a sample of videotaped consultations. Design As part of a broader project 33 doctors provided 20 videotaped consultations collected according patient age, gender and problems encountered. The consultations were rated by a single trained rater. Results The consultations covered sufficient variety of patient ages, gender balance and problems encountered to achieve validity and the single rater design achieved defensible reliability (generalisability coefficient 0·86). Conclusion The module is suitable for further exploration as an optional method for certification or re‐certification assessment.
