Graduate medical education is largely based on a time-based apprenticeship model, and motion tracking technology can provide a more detailed assessment of student skill performance, ultimately improving educational standards and efficiency.
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. The purpose of this review is to discuss technologies applicable to motion tracking, their benefits and limitations, approaches to data processing, and potential applications based on recent improvements in this technology. Objective analysis of motion metrics may improve educational standards of learning and efficiency by both standardizing the feedback process for trainees and reducing the volume of instructors required to facilitate practice sessions. With rigorous validation and standardization, motion metric assessment may also prove useful to demonstrate competency in technical procedures as part of a comprehensive certification process.
