Research question
How does 3LC tabletop training change Thai emergency physicians’ self-assessment and leadership behavior?
Method and context
Fifty-two physicians completed two-day courses, with pre/post self-ratings and two observers; no control group.
Study summary
Participants rotated through prehospital, emergency-department and hospital-command roles across three scenarios and reflective discussions.
Findings
Perceived knowledge increased across seven CSCATTT areas; observers described improving group communication and decision-making.
Contribution
Offers a CPX evaluation example separating learner reflection from observed leadership.
Interpretation limits
Authors flag self-report and observer bias, immediate measurement and physician-only participation; patient outcomes were not measured.
A question for further research
Our question: can blinded interagency behavioral rubrics confirm retained skills?
A starting point for a study design: extend the literature search, specify methods and outcomes, and assess ethics requirements for the data and participants.
Connect evidence to KSEC / OBE
Project-proposed critical-appraisal evidence, not research findings or accreditation criteria from the original authors.
- K
- Explain the question, concepts and findings with locators in the original.
- S
- Compare methods, variables and limitations with another study before designing a test or CPX.
- E
- Separate reported results from your proposals, cite originals and examine implications for vulnerable groups.
- C
- Record responses to critique and revisions after new evidence. Observe behaviour repeatedly, not from a single reading.
