Motion Tracking Machines and Sensors: Advancing Education Technology

Graduate medical education is  predominantly based on a time-based apprenticeship model, with implied acquisition of proficiency after a pre-set amount of clinical exposure. While motion metrics have been used previously to measure skill performance indicators, these assessments have largely been performed on a summative scale to describe the performance of complete tasks or procedures. By segmenting performances of interest and assessing the essential elements individually, a more comprehensive understanding of the aspects in need of improvement for a learner can be obtained.
