Strengths

Limitations

Poor audio–video quality

Potential use for uncommon procedures

Ability to re-check missed points during live assessment

Inability to evaluate readiness for practice

More constructive feedback

Feedback could potentially be more time-consuming

Flexible evaluation time

Can be done anonymously

Can use multiple assessors

Good teaching and coaching tool
