The Extended Supervised Learning Event (ESLE): Assessing Nontechnical Skills in Emergency Medicine Trainees in the Workplace

摘要

Study objective: The contribution of emergency medicine clinicians' nontechnical skills in providing safe, high-quality care in the emergency department (ED) is well known. In 2015, the UK Royal College of Emergency Medicine introduced explicit validated descriptors of nontechnical skills needed to function effectively in the ED. A new nontechnical skills assessment tool that provided a score for 12 domains of nontechnical skills and detailed narrative feedback, the Extended Supervised Learning Event (ESLE), was introduced and was mandated as part of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine assessment schedule. We aim to evaluate the psychometric reliability of the ESLE in its first year of use.
