Popis: This study investigates the validity of the Bahrain Defence Force instrument to assess professionalism, communication, and collaboration skills (BDF/PCC instrument) in medical graduates during their clerkship/intern years. The instrument to assess professionalism, communication, and collaboration skills [BDF/PCC instrument] was developed based on an extensive literature review, other existing valid instruments, and expert opinion. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to support the construct validity. Twenty-five interns engaged in a multisource feedback evaluation for this study. Each participant was rated by eight individuals from each of the following categories: physicians, nurses, and fellow interns. Cronbach’s α was used to determine the questionnaire’s internal consistency and reliability. We report response rates (100 %), mean response time to complete each questionnaire (3.7 min), and the number of raters (seven to eight) needed to provide reliable results that support the feasibility of the survey. Reliability analysis using Cronbach’s α of internal consistency indicated that the full scale of the instrument had high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α 0.98). The instrument was found to be suitable for factor analysis (KMO = 0.941; Bartlett test significant, p
