General Call (Workshop, Oral Presentation, Poster Presentation)

Workshop

Simulation to assess for collective competence

Physicians routinely work as part of large teams and as a result, patient outcomes are rarely related to the competence of an individual physician, but rather are related to the competence of the team. Despite this, assessments within CBME frameworks are focused on the competence of the individual trainee. In this workshop, presenters will discuss circumstances in which trainee's actions, decisions, and performance are mainly independent (individual) of team functioning and compare this to circumstances where intra-dependent (team) functioning dominates. This then sets the stage for the need for innovative assessment strategies that examines individual competence within a team context. Presenters will discuss the challenges of assessing for collective, team performance in the complex clinical environment. They will share their experience with using simulation scenarios that assess along the spectrum of individual to collective performance and two strategies for assessing individuals whose performance is dependent on other team members. One of these assessment strategies is based on studies in educational measurement and provides an approach for assessing collaboration and interactions amongst different team members and their contributions to outcomes. The second strategy is based on Multi Source Feedback (MSF) and uses team members' assessment of the individual trainee on a particular case to capture trainee's and team members' contributions. These assessment strategies attempt to determine the contribution of the trainee to the final clinical outcome rather than attributing the clinical outcome to the individual trainee. Using simulation scenarios we present two assessment strategies that might be better suited to capture the "Collective Competence"

• Large group discussion to review examples of Independent (individual) vs. intra dependent (team) • Mini lecture and small group work to design simulation scenarios that assess along the spectrum of independent vs. intra dependent • Case study in small groups to review current assessment tools for individuals and teams in simulation • Mini lecture and large group discussion on collective competence

Describe strategies to assess individual and team contribution to the final performance and clinical outcome 3. Discuss the need for innovative assessments that look at the individual trainee within a team context
