We developed and tested a structured ECMO course assessment tool, demonstrating participants' self-reported benefit as well as improvement in psychomotor skill acquisition, course satisfaction, and educational benefits. Course evaluation is feasible and potentially provides important information to improve ECMO courses. Future steps could include national implementation, addition of questions targeting clinical decision making to further assess knowledge gain, and multilanguage translation for implementation in international courses.
