Introduction |
Our simulation center, supported by four departments (Surgery, OB/GYN, Urology, and Anesthesiology), is accredited as a comprehensive Accredited Educational Institute (AEI) and is now expanding to accommodate all departments on campus.
Methods |
A 61-point questionnaire was administered to 44 stakeholders, representing all of UME and GME. Data were compared for AEI vs. non-AEI activities.
Results |
Responses were collected from all 44 groups (100% response rate). Overall, 43 simulation activities were hosted within the AEI and 40 were hosted by non-AEI stakeholders. AEI activities were more likely to be mandatory (93% vs. 75%, p = 0.02), have written learning objectives (79% vs 43%, p < 0.001), and use validated assessment metrics (33% vs. 13%, p = 0.03).
Conclusion |
These data suggest that the AEI courses are more robust in terms of structured learning and assessment compared to non-AEI courses. Campus-wide application of uniform quality standards is anticipated to require significant faculty, course, and program development.
