statistics were conducted using STATA 13. Performance standards were set for beginning and mastery levels by summing the critical items that a trainee at each level must perform to pass.Results: Experts were recruited and brought together for the standard setting meeting on November 8, 2016. Experts indicated that for a well-prepared beginning resident, 25/51 items (49%) were considered critical for patient safety. Experts focused on the need for beginning residents to be skilled enough to assure safe task performance. Concerning mastery learners, experts noted that 49/51 (96%) of the items identified in the scenario were critical for mastery level comprehensive airway management.Conclusions: The modified Angoff standard setting procedure developed proficiency standards for comprehensive airway management for beginning and mastery level trainees. Future work will focus on evaluation of resident performance using these procedural proficiency standards to predict patient outcomes.
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.
