CODA Standard 2-24 states, “… graduates must be competent in … patient assessment, diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning, prognosis and informed consent.” Assessment of these tasks is difficult as direct, one-on-one supervision of the student/patient interaction is needed. Ensuring that each student has a similar experience due to patient variability is difficult. Using simulated patients in AxiUm, a more standardized evaluation is possible. The exam is in two parts. Part 1: assessment of all documentation in the patient chart and creation of treatment plan options. Part 2: one-on-one treatment plan presentation to a calibrated faculty role playing the patient.
Please note: this session can only accept 10 attendees.
Learning Objectives:
Create simulated cases for competency exams.
Strategize implementation of simulated competency exams.
Identify where simulated cases can be used in competency assessment.
