Simulation has been shown to enhance resident learning and standardize clinical assessments, but it can be costly. The challenge for program directors is to better understand the existing types of simulation and their uses to help determine when this methodology offers substantial learning and/or patient safety benefits that warrant the added costs. This Rip Out provides program directors with key simulation terms, concepts, and considerations to guide appropriate and costeffective use of simulation to augment their curriculum and learning opportunities.
This prospective study describes the successful development of a tool for assessing the procedural competence of radiology trainees with high levels of construct validity in multiple domains. Implementation of the tool in the radiology residency curriculum is planned and can play an instrumental role in the transition to competency-based radiology training.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
