Personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic (Letter #1)	2020-08-07		.txt	text/plain	570	35	50	During the coronavirus disease pandemic, the circumstances under which donning and doffing of PPE is being learned, trained, and subsequently performed may be suboptimal. Although no overview exists of the training practices for donning and doffing PPE, it is likely that it is less than ideal. Ideally, in designing a training program for a new procedure, one would: 1) share a description of the procedure with ''trainees'' that contains unambiguous definitions of each step, and common and critical errors; 2) apply a pre-training preparation standard; 3) provide real-world materials (e.g., PPE) for repeated deliberate practice; 4) provide multiple training sessions based on performance; and 5) undertake an ''exit'' assessment. 4 Proficiencybased progression and other forms of metrics-based training decrease the incidence of errors amongst novice practitioners and the evidence of its consistent efficacy is particularly strong for procedural skills.
