Assessing Competency in Serious Illness Communication: Development of a Rater Training Program
We demonstrate an effective method for conducting rater training to assess serious illness communication skills that builds off a previously published program for team performance. Key adjustments included conducting facilitated discussions of videos and iteratively updating the rater training guide. This approach ensures reliable assessment within communication skills training.
