Simulation-Based Training for Assessment of Competency, Certification, and Maintenance of Certification

Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: InterProfessional Team Training and Simulation

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation ((CHS))

Abstract

Today’s clinical practice requires clinicians to collaborate and function in complex teams with other healthcare professionals to provide high quality, safe patient care. The interprofessional collaborative skills required for modern clinical practice are not easily taught nor assessed using traditional education methods but are well suited for simulation-based training. Traditional models of health professional education and training no longer adequately prepare clinicians for practice in the dynamic and ever-changing modern healthcare system. Traditional educational models were designed to ensure clinicians “knew” and “knew how” but offered no evidence that clinicians could “show” or “demonstrate” competency. Simulation-based training and assessment offers novice and expert clinicians an opportunity to practice and demonstrate their skills and competence in an environment that closely replicates clinical practice, yet poses minimal harm to patients. The competence-based education movement has shifted health professional education towards novel, experiential learning modalities such as simulation-based training. We can expect to see more simulation-based training and assessment in health professional education and development in the future.
