“…It is increasingly being used in health professional education research, including curriculum and competency. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] We describe in a previous publication the rationale development for the use of a Delphi process to establish consensus on EM clerkship competencies and the effectiveness of this approach. 11 The methodology described in this study, as previously published, was seen by external reviewers to have face validity, applicable to EM clerkships in Canada and appropriate to inform competency and curriculum development.…”

Objectives: There is no consensus on what constitutes the core competencies for emergency medicine (EM) clerkship rotations in Canada. Existing EM curricula have been developed through informal consensus and often focus on EM content to be known at the end of training rather than what is an appropriate focus for a time-limited rotation in EM. We sought to define the core competencies for EM clerkship in Canada through consensus among an expert panel of Canadian EM educators. RÉ SUMÉObjectif: Il n'existe pas de consensus quant aux compé tences de base à acqué rir durant les stages cliniques en mé decine d'urgence (MU) au Canada. Les programmes actuels en MU ont é té é laboré s à partir de consensus atteints de faç on non structuré e, et souvent l'accent est mis sur le contenu à connaître à la fin de la formation plutô t que sur un bagage approprié de connaissances à acqué rir au cours d'un stage d'une duré e limité e.

“…The Delphi process has been used in curriculum development in medical education, including continuing education (Esmaily et al 2008) and postgraduate education (Flynn & Verma 2008). It has also been used in undergraduate medical education including palliative medicine (Paes & Wee 2008), dermatology (Clayton et al 2006), critical care (Perkins et al 2005) and family medicine (Hueston et al 2004). We found no evidence in the English language literature of the Delphi process being used in curriculum and competency development in undergraduate EM.…”

Using a Delphi process to establish consensus on emergency medicine clerkship competencies

et al. 2011

Background: Currently, there is no consensus on the core competencies required for emergency medicine (EM) clerkships in Canada. Existing EM curricula have been developed through informal consensus or local efforts. The Delphi process has been used extensively as a means for establishing consensus. Aim: The purpose of this project was to define core competencies for EM clerkships in Canada, to validate a Delphi process in the context of national curriculum development, and to demonstrate the adoption of the CanMEDS physician competency paradigm in the undergraduate medical education realm. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that a modified Delphi process can result in a strong consensus around a realistic number of core competencies for EM clerkships. We propose that such a method could be used by other medical specialties and health professions to develop rotation-specific core competencies.

“…A number of different approaches was possible: looking at the stability of the response, determining in advance a set number of rounds or setting a percentage at which consensus was achieved [52]. In selecting items for inclusion in the instrument we were guided by the panellists’ ratings and our wish to keep the questionnaire manageable, i.e.…”

An instrument for evaluating clinical teaching in Japan: content validity and cultural sensitivity

et al. 2014

BackgroundMany instruments for evaluating clinical teaching have been developed but almost all in Western countries. None of these instruments have been validated for the Asian culture, and a literature search yielded no instruments that were developed specifically for that culture. A key element that influences content validity in developing instruments for evaluating the quality of teaching is culture. The aim of this study was to develop a culture-specific instrument with strong content validity for evaluating clinical teaching in initial medical postgraduate training in Japan.MethodsBased on data from a literature search and an earlier study we prepared a draft evaluation instrument. To ensure a good cultural fit of the instrument with the Asian context we conducted a modified Delphi procedure among three groups of stakeholders (five education experts, twelve clinical teachers and ten residents) to establish content validity, as this factor is particularly susceptible to cultural factors.ResultsTwo rounds of Delphi were conducted. Through the procedure, 52 prospective items were reworded, combined or eliminated, resulting in a 25-item instrument validated for the Japanese setting.ConclusionsThis is the first study describing the development and content validation of an instrument for evaluating clinical teaching specifically tailored to an East Asian setting. The instrument has similarities and differences compared with instruments of Western origin. Our findings suggest that designers of evaluation instruments should consider the probability that the content validity of instruments for evaluating clinical teachers can be influenced by cultural aspects.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1472-6920-14-179) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
