Abstract

Administrative Intern, Research Assistant The Center for Learning and Innovation Northwell Health 1979 Marcus Ave New Hyde Park, NY 11042 The goal of this poster is to share the experience of a graduate student in I/O Psychology interning in healthcare and researching simulation-based education. Hofstra University’s graduate program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology works closely with Northwell Health’s Center for Learning and Innovation to assist students in completing internship requirements, fostering their unique affiliated professional partnership. Northwell Health is New York’s largest healthcare provider with more than 76,000 employees in 23 hospitals and 830 outpatient facilities.1,2 The Center for Learning and Innovation was developed in 2002 as the organization’s corporate university system to centralize efforts in assessment, teaching and education and systems integration.1,2 The department uses an inter-professional learning model and has over 100-thousand learning hours annually including Paramedics, EMTs, Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Resident Physicians, Attending Physicians, and other healthcare professionals.4 Some administrative responsibilities in this position include supporting the operation of computer-enhanced manikins during simulation trainings, in-situ Crew Resource Management Training (CRM), Simulation-Instructor Education courses and Practical-Skills Assessment Exams. Other responsibilities include conducting regular literature reviews on new research proposals, creating program evaluation tools including surveys and rubrics and leading market research efforts to expand program development. A current project that will be discussed includes the assessment of terminal competencies in paramedics during airway management. This presentation will highlight the development of the rubric, as well as the think-aloud technique used during the assessment. The goal of this research is to analyze the critical decision-making areas of a skill and separate low-level and high-level performance. The application of educational philosophy to assess knowledge/performance will be briefly covered (George Miller’s Pyramid of Assessment and Dreyfus & Dreyfus) in addition to highlighting cross-industry trends of simulation training and education pedagogies from aviation and the military. This unique internship experience provides insight into the versatility and application of IO Psychology in simulation-based education and healthcare.
