Summary

The goal of the proposed study design is to develop and gather validity evidence of a theoretical test about cognitive skills which are important when performing Chest Tube Insertion (CTI). This study consists of two parts: * The development of the theoretical test and its items. The test content will be based on a broad literature search, and on semi-structured interviews with content experts. * The subsequent collection of validity evidence for this theoretical test and final selection of the test items, by testing groups that differ based on their expertise. The item analysis and observed difference in mean score between the groups will provide the validity evidence.

Conditions

• Chest Tubes
• Cognitive Skill

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Interview	Interviews consist of semi-structured interviews focused on the theoretical knowledge a physician should possess before placing chest tube insertions.
OTHER	Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Test	The test contains multiple choice questions based on these interviews. Participants will complete this test. Validity evidence will be collected based on the results of this test.
