Comparison of Simulation-based Resuscitation Performance Assessments With In-training Evaluation Reports in Emergency Medicine Residents: A Canadian Multicenter Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Simulation stands to serve an important role in modern competency-based programs of assessment in postgraduate medical education. Our objective was to compare the performance of individual emergency medicine (EM) residents in a simulation-based resuscitation objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) using the Queen's Simulation Assessment Tool (QSAT), with portfolio assessment of clinical encounters using a modified in-training evaluation report (ITER) to understand in greater detail the inferences that may be drawn from a simulation-based OSCE assessment.

Methods

A prospective observational study was employed to explore the use of a multicenter simulation-based OSCE for evaluation of resuscitation competence. EM residents from five Canadian academic sites p
