Video Summary

The video transcript features Laura Bonanno discussing the Common Clinical Assessment Tool Guidelines for Clinical Educators. The tool aims to improve the quality of clinical evaluations for nurse anesthesia students. The tool was developed in response to identified weaknesses in existing evaluation methods, such as lack of completion, timeliness issues, and subjectivity. The tool is competency-based and aligns with professional and ethical standards. It includes four domains: patient safety, knowledge and critical thinking, professional communication and collaboration, and professional role. Each domain has specific competencies with progression indicators from safety concerns to proficiency. The tool allows for objective evaluation, feedback, and tracking of student progress. The Delphi study was conducted to ensure the tool's validity and reliability. Training is recommended for program administrators and clinical educators to effectively use the tool.
