Assessments of clinical skills of medical students rely increasingly on standardized patients demonstrating medical cases with faculty rating performance. The common finding of inconsistency of scores across cases is often referred to as case specificity. A multivariate generalizability model reveals that overall case specificity cannot explain inconsistency in this example. Results from the multivariate model suggest directions for enhancing the table of specifications, optimizing scoring, and improving case selection to reduce inconsistency in scores across cases.
