Description

This framework, following guidelines outlined by Gallagher et al., defines competency thresholds by the mean rubric score and completion time of expert performers in a simulation environment. Participants across experience levels are assessed on a validated checklist, and "the mean rubric score and completion time of experts were defined as the competency thresholds for this procedure," enabling standardized proficiency-based progression rather than time-based progression alone.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • A validated checklist with expert panel review
  • Trained graders to reduce interrater variability
  • A simulation model allowing standardized task performance

Constraints

  • Simulations lack real-world consequences and duress conditions, which may limit external validity

Target Learners

  • medical students
  • nurses
  • physicians
  • EMS providers

Learning Goals

  • achieving defined proficiency in procedural skills
