AEM Education and Training 22: Facilitating Observational Measurement in Highly Variable Clinical Settings

<p>Translational research in medical education requires the ability to rigorously measure learner performance in actual clinical settings; however, current measurement systems cannot accommodate the variability inherent in many patient care environments. This is especially problematic in emergency medicine, where patients represent a wide spectrum of severity for a single clinical presentation. Our objective is to describe and implement EBAM, an event‐based approach to measurement that can be applied to actual emergency medicine clinical events.</p>
