Job analysis and student assessment tool: perfusion education clinical preceptor.

摘要: Perfusionists are highly educated and trained allied health professionals who operate life support equipment during cardiac surgery in special care areas facilities. The clinical perfusion education system centers on the operating room perfusionist serves as a preceptor or instructor for student (Figure 1). Figure 1. Perfusion learning system. Why assess? Springer et al. (1) reported “… If used effectively, performance appraisal systems keep employees focused vision mission of organization.” Instructor forms based valid job analysis can be an aid to improve performance, case program, method quality education. Analyzing role facilitating feedback teachers is one program (2). Health programs should continuously involved total management (3). Student evaluation instructors (SECI) may valuable addition experience. Students have requested opportunity evaluate faculty. There been no requests SECI from >130 29 affiliates Ohio State University (OSU) Circulation Technology (Circ Tech) Program (www.amp.osu.edu/CT). OSU students presently their rotation facility but do not instructors. A logical legal requirement instrument content validity (4). Content probably more important than foundation when it comes evaluating within context this study. Perfusion perform first foremost perfusionists taking surgical patients. description scope practice well known, studied, published (www.amsect.org/). participate national certification process (www.abcp.org/) licensed >11 states these United States. When volunteers become instructor, they add another dimension activities already list tasks. This study focuses additional tasks that added perfusionist’s instruction. purpose twofold: analyze education-related develop use rate preceptors. For analysis, goal critical tasks, cognition, behaviorally anchored statements (5) describe students. second create at end each preceptors. “Unambiguous” rating scales (BARS) described by Smith Kendall (6) will understand instructor.
