Abstract:
In the high-stakes world of healthcare simulation, assessment reliability isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. Join us for an engaging and practical webinar that introduces the RST model—focusing on the Rater, the Simulation, and the Tool—as a robust framework for achieving high interrater reliability (IRR). Whether you’re designing formative experiences or conducting summative assessments, you’ll gain actionable strategies to calibrate raters, optimize simulation design, and refine assessment tools. If you’ve ever struggled with inconsistent scoring or questioned the validity of simulation results, this session will help you bring structure, clarity, and agreement to your process. Let’s come to some agreement—literally!
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the core components of the RST framework and explain how each contributes to achieving interrater reliability in medical simulation-based assessments.
- Apply evidence-based strategies for improving rater calibration, minimizing bias, and ensuring consistent scoring across multiple evaluators in clinical simulation.
- Evaluate and refine healthcare simulation scenarios and assessment tools to enhance the observability, standardization, and clarity needed for reliable performance measurement.
