Structured PICO

Do cognitive, personality, and academic measures predict clinical performance in anesthesiology residents?

Population

67 anesthesiology residents in training at one center between 1993 and 1995

Intervention

Cognitive, personality, and academic tests (modified Vigil, Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, California Personality Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and five standardized academic performance tests)

Outcome

Clinical performance rated on a quarterly basis by a clinical competence committee

Early academic test performance and certain cognitive and personality tests can help predict the clinical performance of anesthesiology residents.

Limitations

Single center
Needs confirmation in a prospective, multicenter study
