These decisions have important consequences for patient safety, trainee learning, and preparation for independent practice. Determinants of these decisions have previously been described but have not been well described for acute care contexts such as critical care and emergency medicine. The ad hoc entrustment of trainees caring for vulnerable patient populations is a high-stakes decision that may differ from other contexts. Critically ill patients and children are vulnerable patient populations, making the ad hoc entrustment of a pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM) fellow a particularly high-stakes decision. This study sought to characterize how ad hoc entrustment decisions are made for PCCM fellows through faculty ratings of vignettes. The authors investigated how acuity, relationship, training level, and task interact to influence ad hoc entrustment decisions. <b><i>Approach</i>:</b> A survey containing 16 vignettes that varied by four traits (acuity, relationship, training level, and task) was distributed to U.S. faculty of pediatric critical care fellowships in 2020. Respondents determined an entrustment level for each case and provided demographic data. Entrustment ratings were dichotomized by \"high entrustment\" versus \"low entrustment\" (direct supervision or observation only). The authors used logistic regression to evaluate the individual and interactive effects of the four traits on dichotomized entrustment ratings. <b><i>Findings</i>:</b> One hundred seventy-eight respondents from 30 institutions completed the survey (44% institutional response rate). Acuity, relationship, and task all significantly influenced the entrustment level selected but did not interact. Faculty most frequently selected \"direct supervision\" as the entrustment level for vignettes, including for 24% of vignettes describing fellows in their final year of training. Faculty rated the majority of vignettes (61%) as \"low entrustment.\" There was no relationship between faculty or institutional demographics and the entrustment level selected. <b><i>Insights</i>:</b> As has been found in summative entrustment for pediatrics, internal medicine, and surgery trainees, PCCM fellows often rated at or below the \"direct supervision\" level of ad hoc entrustment. This may relate to declining opportunities to practice procedures, a culture of low trust propensity among the specialty, and/or variation in interpretation of entrustment scales.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"56-63"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71488651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current literature about interprofessional assessments focuses largely on the development and validation of assessment instruments such as self-assessments or questionnaires to assess students' knowledge or attitudes. Less is known about the design and validity of integral types of assessment in interprofessional education, such as case-based assessments, or performance assessments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the evidence for and threats to the validity of the decisions about students' interprofessional performances based on such integral assessment task. We investigated whether the assessment prototype is a precursor to practice (authenticity) and whether the assessment provides valid information to determine the level of interprofessional competence (scoring).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Approach: &lt;/strong&gt;We used a design-based qualitative research design in which we conducted three group interviews with teachers, students, and interprofessional assessment experts. In semi-structured group interviews, participants evaluated the evidence for and threats to the validity of an interprofessional assessment task, which were analyzed using deductive and inductive content analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Findings: &lt;/strong&gt;Although both evidence for and threats to validity were mentioned, the threats refuting the assessment's validity prevailed. Evidence for the authenticity aspect was that the assessment task, conducting a team meeting, is common in practice. However, its validity was questioned because the assessment task appeared more structured as compared to practice. The most frequently mentioned threat to the scoring aspect was that the process of interprofessional collaboration between the students could not be evaluated sufficiently by means of this assessment task.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;This study showed that establishing interprofessional assessment validity requires three major balancing acts. The first is the balance between authenticity and complexity. As interprofessional practice and competencies are complex, interprofessional tasks require build-up or guidance toward this complexity and chaotic practice. The second is that between authenticity and scoring, in which optimal authenticity might lead to threats to scoring and vice versa. Simultaneous optimal authenticity and scoring seems impossible, requiring ongoing evaluation and monitoring of interprofessional assessment validity to ensure authentic yet fair assessments for all participating professions. The third balancing act is between team scoring and individual scoring. As interprofessional practice requires collaboration and synthesis of diverse professions, the team process is at the heart of solving interprofessional tasks.

To meet demand for cadavers, some medical institutions facilitate dissection of individuals who did not provide consent during their life.

Recent literature demonstrates widespread discomfort with this practice among anatomy course directors at U.S. institutions, bringing into question continuation of this practice.
