Tracheostomy Training Course

A standardized competency-based education tracheostomy module has been developed by the investigator group in collaboration with Respiratory Medicine, Complex Care, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing Education, Family Advisory Network and the Learning Institute at SickKids. Instructional methods for the full module are based on principles of adult learning and evidence from the procedure education literature and include the use of interactive, small-group teaching, hands-on simulation-based learning stations with relevant equipment as well as a formal assessment of knowledge and skills using simulation. Pre-learning packages are sent to course attendees at the time of registration to facilitate higher level discussions on the day of the course. While investigators have rigorously developed the curriculum and evaluation measures, the course outcomes remain unknown.
