TARGET: The Anesthesia Research Group for Education Technology
We are a multi-institution consortium which has been formed
with the mission of leveraging technology to address common obstacles
within anesthesia education and training. We seek to be collaborative
as we work to address issues common among anesthesiology training programs.
Projects:
Creation of a precision education tool for anesthesiology residency training
- • Overview: We aim to build an automated system
that will target individualized educational content
for trainees via a mobile app based on real time learner experience
and competency data. We anticipate our system will allow us
to train physicians more effectively and efficiently
in order to meet the growing patient care needs of our communities.
- • Goals:
- ◦ Develop a model of the learner's knowledge, skills
and experience
- ▪ Inputs will initially include information from a quiz bank,
resident rotation schedule and workplace based assessments.
Future plans for inputs also include information gleaned
from the EMR such as type of anesthetic performed
or ICD-9 diagnoses encountered.
- ◦ Automate frequent updates to the model of the learner
- ◦ Curate and map educational content to represent the field
of anesthesiology
- ◦ Suggest content to the learner in app displaying an education news feed
that is relevant to the learner based on their context, experience,
and current knowledge and skills
- • Research Aim:
- ◦ Feasibility of creating a dynamic model of a learner
- ◦ Feasibility of automation of delivery of tailored content
- ◦ Usability and utility of the APP and content, as wells as some data
on user behavior
- ◦ Development of metrics to assess impact
- ▪ Resident perceptions and usage
- ▪ Outcomes
