TL;DR
A curriculum featuring deliberate practice dramatically increased the skills of residents in ACLS scenarios and illustrate outcome-based medical education that is now prominent in accreditation reform of residency education.
Abstract
A curriculum featuring deliberate practice dramatically increased the skills of residents in ACLS scenarios. Residents needed different amounts of training time to achieve minimum competency standards. Residents enjoy training, evaluation, and feedback in a simulated clinical environment. This mastery learning program and other competency-based efforts illustrate outcome-based medical education that is now prominent in accreditation reform of residency education.
