Abstract
Simulation is a cornerstone of training in neonatal clinical care, allowing learners to practice skills in a safe and controlled environment. Competency-based assessment provides a systematic approach to evaluating technical and behavioral skills observed in the simulation environment to ensure the learner is prepared to safely perform the skill in a clinical setting. Accurate assessment of competency requires the creation of tools with evidence of validity and reliability. There has been considerable work on the use of competency-based assessment in the field of neonatology. In this chapter, we review neonatal simulation-based training, examine competency-based assessment tools, explore methods to gather evidence of the validity and reliability, and review an evidence-based approach to competency-based assessment using simulation.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Seminars in Perinatology is to provide authoritative and comprehensive reviews of a single topic of interest to professionals who care for the mother, the fetus, and the newborn. The journal''s readership includes perinatologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, epidemiologists, students in these fields, and others. Each issue offers a comprehensive review of an individual topic, with emphasis on new developments that will have a direct impact on their practice.
