ABSTRACT: Expertise in medicine: using the expert performance approach to improve simulation training.

CONTEXT: We critically review how medical education can benefit from systematic use of the expert performance approach as a framework for measuring and enhancing clinical practice. We discuss how the expert performance approach can be used to better understand the mechanisms underpinning superior performance among health care providers and how the

As in other medical schools, many students are opting out of attending class and others are inattentive while in class. We sought to understand why, especially
