BACKGROUND: The ultimate goal in educating medical students is to train skilled workforce whoby obtaining the required knowledge of the discipline, personal and professional skills, and attitudesto enter the national health‑care system. This study was conducted with the goal of designing acomprehensive clinical competency test of operating room technology student using the Delphitechnique, and then, the clinical skills of the operating room technology students of the paramedicalschool were assessed using the CIPP evaluation model.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted in the University of MedicalSciences to evaluate clinical skills with Delphi technique and CIPP evaluation model. This wasa mixed methods study. Purposive sampling method was employed in the qualitative stage, anda census was conducted in the quantitative part. A comprehensive clinical competency test wasdesigned in this research using the Delphi technique and was conducted with 18 students. Then,clinical skills evaluation was performed by descriptive-analytical statistical tests and evaluator’sobservation using the CIPP model.RESULTS: The comprehensive clinical competencies test of the surgical technology students wasdesigned in four sections: content, evaluation method, test conditions, and the criteria for passing thecomprehensive test. The results in the implementation stage showed that the operating room technologystudents had a range of excellent to weak performances in exhibiting basic skills at different levels.CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study showed that the comprehensive test, designedbased on the Delphi technique of experts, and using the CIPP model can be a good criterion for theevaluation of the operating room technology students before entering the clerkship.
