Purpose: Although the multiple-choice question format is the primary means of assessing medical students’ knowledge, interest in the use of open-ended questions (OEQs) for assessment is growing. 1 Time burden and subjectivity of grading OEQs are cited as concerns. 2,3 Recruitment of graders without content expertise could reduce the time burden of grading. However, it is unclear if rubrics can be reliably used by individuals who are not content experts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interrater reliability (IRR) of OEQ scores by faculty, students, and noncontent expert faculty.
