Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Several approaches for summative assessment during Advanced Life Support courses are used. The most commonly used method during European Resuscitation (ERC) Council Life Support Courses is that 1 instructor is miming a whole team, and the candidate has to lead this "team" through a scenario; another variant of the summative assessment (mainly used by American Heart Association (AHA) Courses) is with a group of students, where one student is the team leader to be assessed and the others are his team not being assessed. The second approach might be more realistic; however there is no evidence around with regard to effectiveness (pass/fail rate, ability to test non-technical skills (NTS)) or participant/assessor satisfaction.
