- Abstract Background Workplace-based assessment (WBA) used in post-graduate medical education relies on physician supervisors’ feedback.

The Ottawa Resident Observation Form for Nurses (O-RON) was developed to capture nurses’ assessment of trainee performance and results have demonstrated strong evidence for validity in Orthopedic Surgery. However, different clinical settings may impact a tool’s performance. This project studied the use of the O-RON in three different specialties at the University of Ottawa. Methods O-RON forms were distributed on Internal Medicine, General Surgery, and Obstetrical wards at the University of Ottawa over nine months. Validity evidence related to quantitative data was collected. Exit interviews with nurse managers were performed and content was thematically analyzed. Results 179 O-RONs were completed on 30 residents. With four forms per resident, the ORON’s reliability was 0.82. Global judgement response and frequency of concerns was correlated (r = 0.627, P
