Data from focused studies and comprehensive surveys suggest that developing or enhancing non-technical (professional) skills will result in a more satisfied and successful veterinary student or veterinary graduate. The College of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University has devoted considerable time, effort, and resources to augmenting the non-technical aspects of its curriculum while maintaining the traditional strengths of its DVM program. Here we summarize pertinent research and best-practice recommendations from a variety of sources and outline the steps that have been taken, with the underlying rationales, to integrate the teaching and modeling of non-technical (professional) competence throughout a four-year course of veterinary study.

Use of an observer tool to enhance learning of anaesthesia resident's non-technical skills during high-fidelity simulation: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: The use of an observer tool (OT) has been shown to improve learning of technical skills through observation in simulation. The objective was to assess the impact of a non-technical OT on anaesthesia residents' learning of non-technical skills (NTS) during simulation.
Methods: After consent, residents were randomised into 2 groups: OT+ (with an OT based on NTS to be systematically completed during observation of others) and OT- (without OT).

The application of extended reality (XR) technology is rapidly expanding in the medical field, including anesthesia. This review aims to introduce the current literature on XR utilization to help anesthesiologists adopt this technology in education and clinical practice. XR is useful for both knowledge acquisition and skill training in a wide range of settings, from students to medical professionals.

Cardiology, a high-acuity medical specialty, has traditionally emphasised technical expertise, often overshadowing the critical role of non-technical skills (NTS). This imbalance stems from the historical focus on procedural competence and clinical knowledge in cardiology training and practice, leaving a significant gap in the development of crucial interpersonal and cognitive abilities. However, emerging evidence highlights the significant impact of NTS on patient outcomes, team dynamics, and overall healthcare efficiency.

Background/objectives: Clinical simulation is a pivotal educational strategy in nursing, facilitating the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical skills in a safe environment. While the benefits of simulation in enhancing technical and non-technical competencies are well-documented, the transition of nursing students to the role of instructors within these simulations remains underexplored, particularly in the Spanish context. This study aims to investigate how assuming the instructor role in clinical simulations impacts the professional development of fourth-year nursing students.

Surgical operations are one of the high-risk activities in modern society, and surgeons in this high-pressure environment require not only excellent technical skills but also well-rounded non-technical skills. Non-technical skills encompass key abilities such as situational awareness, decision-making, communication and teamwork, leadership, and stress management, as well as the capacity for error correction feedback loops, emotional intelligence, and adaptability to complex environments. These "soft skills" help surgeons to more effectively handle emergencies during surgery, optimize team collaboration, ensure patient safety, and increase the success rate of operations.
