What are the 6 hierarchical levels of Bloom Taxonomy? -
ANS >>>The revised Bloom taxonomy has six hierarchical
levels: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate,
and create
Remember- Recall and understanding show basic
knowledge of a topic. When a learner moves to the
evaluation phase, he/she has the ability to diagnose and
treat but move beyond that towards critically appraising
other methods.
Understand
Apply- When a learner applies information, he/she can
show how they understand the knowledge and use it in
clinical practice.
Analyze
Evaluate
Create
What type of simulation is stopped repeatedly during the
,STAT PEARLS- CHSOS EXAM STAT PEARLS- CHSOS EXAM STAT PEARLS- CHSOS EXAM
scenario? When is this type of simulation used? - ANS
>>>RAPID CYCLE DELIBERATIVE: Feedback in rapid cycle
deliberative practice comes during multiple pauses, and
micro debriefs within the scenario. Micro debriefing and
the subsequent repetition of some or all of the scenarios
allow for the incorporation of this feedback during iterative
cycles of the simulation. Rapid cycle deliberative practice
allows for multiple learning points to be addressed during
different micro debriefs. Highly scripted, algorithmic cases,
such as those in a resuscitation, have been studied for use
in rapid cycle deliberative practice.
A medical simulation program has been started at a facility.
While participants seem to enjoy their simulation scenarios,
the post-course surveys suggest that they would like better-
quality feedback on how they have done. Before the next
simulation course, a literature review of recent trends in
simulation debriefing is done, and a new debriefing
technique is considered to improve the learning experience.
Which of the following innovations is most likely to improve
the quality of debriefing for the participants? - ANS
>>>Giving observers specific tasks to complete while they
observe their peers during a scenario and using these
during the feedback session. There is some evidence for the
use of "collaboration scripts," which are instructional tools
with content-specific roles and activities for non-active
participants to complete while they watch others. These
may result in better quality feedback for the participants at
the end of each scenario.

Miller's pyramid of clinical competence. What are all four
levels of Miller's pyramid of clinical competence? And
examples of how each
level is tested. - ANS >>>An understanding of educational
principles such as Miller's pyramid of clinical competence and
Benner's novice-to-expert model, guide the determination of
the appropriate level of fidelity.
"Shows how" refers to the demonstration of clinical skills,
which can be tested by OSCE, standardized patients, clinical
exams, etc. (competency).
"Does" refers to the top of the pyramid and correlates to
daily patient care, which can be assessed by direct
observation in clinical settings (performance).
"Knows how" refers to the application of knowledge and
can be tested by clinical problem-solving. "Knows" refers to
the bottom of the pyramid and correlates with knowledge,
which can be tested by written exams.
Miller's pyramid and how it is tested (simplified) -
ANS >>>Knows- written exams Knows how- clinical
problem solving
Shows how- OSCE, clinical exams
Does- direct observation in clinical setting
In Miller's pyramidal model, a learner progresses from
knowledge (having knowledge about a procedure) to
competence (having knowledge about how to do a
procedure) to performance (being able to demonstrate the
procedure) to action (actually performing the procedure in
the field).

What are latent organizational weaknesses? - ANS
>>>unknown human errors in a system from the past that
do not surface until triggered by another event.
"If you pit a good performer against a bad system, the system
will win every time."
what is deliberate practice? - ANS >>>Deliberate practice
is an educational framework that encompasses defined
and achievable learning objectives, focused and repetitive
practice, and informative and personalized feedback in the
form of a debrief. These factors ensure that set tasks and
skills can be practiced, and feedback can be delivered in a
consistent and highly educational format.
Simulation with deliberate practice has been shown to be
more effective than traditional methods of teaching in
multiple studies. However, simulation cannot replace the
benefits of actual clinical experience.
Deliberate practice is an insight into the skills we are learning.
This insight allows for further development, and if performed
several times, the learner becomes a teacher and can modify
the technique based on experience.
Deliberate practice is a higher level of understanding and
learning where the mechanical part of a skill has already
been dominated as well as the functionality of the
procedure.
Deliberate practice is not just a mechanical achievement. It is
also having an insight into the procedures we are performing
as well as understanding the steps.
