The Results of the Pilot Project for the Primary Specialized Accreditation in the Specialty “Anesthesiology-Resuscitation” Using an Expanded List аnd Randomization of Stations

Abstract

The article presents the experience of conducting the procedure for primary specialized accreditation in anesthesiology and resuscitation using a new methodology. The study involved 25 graduates of clinical residency. The methodology included expanding the list of assessed skills, increasing the number of stations to 6, adding new scenarios to existing stations. Also, for the first time, a randomization technique was applied to ensure a random selection of assessed skills and scenarios at the stations. Those accredited showed high marks on the used checklists. The modified methodology was evaluated by teachers, members of accreditation commissions, accredited as increasing the objectivity of the assessment, requiring only a little additional training. Based on the results of the study, it is planned to develop proposals for making changes to the current accreditation procedure for anesthesiology and resuscitation.
