Abstract

PROBLEM: Implementation of competency-based medical education has necessitated more frequent trainee assessments. Use of simulation as an assessment tool is limited by access to trained examiners, cost, and concerns with interrater reliability. Developing an automated tool for pass/fail assessment of trainees in simulation could improve accessibility and quality assurance of assessments. This study aimed to develop an automated assessment model using deep learning techniques to assess performance of anesthesiology trainees in a simulated critical event.
