Validity and reliability of simulation-based assessment tools for European Training Requirement-defined competencies in anaesthesiology: a two-centre observational pilot study

Key Points

• Assessment tools show significant validity and reliability for anaesthesiology competencies, indicating their promise for education.
• Key metrics indicate both internal consistency and inter-rater reliability, suggesting effective measurement across settings.
• This observational pilot study involved two centres assessing simulation-based assessment tools to gauge their effectiveness.
• Findings support the use of simulation tools in training, while further validation in larger populations may be necessary.
