Deep Learning Model for Automated Trainee Assessment During High-Fidelity Simulation.

The authors demonstrated the feasibility of developing a deep learning model from a simulation database that can be used for automated assessment of medical trainees in a simulated anaphylaxis scenario. The important next steps are to (1) integrate a larger simulation dataset to improve the accuracy of the model; (2) assess the accuracy of the model on alternative anaphylaxis simulations, additional medical disciplines, and alternative medical education evaluation modalities; and (3) gather feedback from education leadership and clinician educators surrounding the perceived strengths and weaknesses of deep learning models for simulation assessment. Overall, this novel approach for performance prediction has broad implications in medical education and assessment.
