Galvagno Jr SM et al. – In this longitudinal observational study of first–year anaesthesiology residents, CAPs testing helped improve knowledge about critical events. Although the study was limited by its small number of subjects, a significant attrition rate and the lack of a control group, it demonstrates a cost–effective educational intervention that improved resident knowledge. This intervention may enable residents to transfer learned skills from theoretical testing situations to real–life scenarios. The authors propose the use and further study of CAPs testing as a cost–effective modality to augment both simulated and actual experiential learning.
