  • Analysis of observational performance assessment techniques within simulated clinical scenarios.
  • Examination of rater training protocols designed to improve assessment reliability and accuracy.

    • Main Results:

    • Simulation-based assessments effectively evaluate core competencies (ACGME/ABMS) in standardized environments.
    • Observational assessments from simulations offer stronger skill inferences but risk rater errors.
    • Rater training is crucial for reducing errors and increasing the accuracy of simulation-based evaluations.

    Conclusions:

    • Simulation-based assessments are vital tools for advanced physician evaluation and medical regulation.
    • Implementing effective rater training is essential for maximizing the validity of these assessments.
    • These methods address critical gaps in assessing physician competency for licensure and relicensure.
