摘要

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping medical education, particularly in the domain of competency-based assessment, where current methods remain subjective and resource-intensive. We introduce a multimodal AI framework that integrates video, audio, and patient monitor data to provide objective and interpretable competency assessments. Using 90 anesthesia residents, we established “ideal” performance benchmarks and trained an anomaly detection model (MEMTO) to quantify deviations from these benchmarks. Competency scores derived from these deviations showed strong alignment with expert ratings (Spearman’s ρ= 0.78; ICC = 0.75) and demonstrated high ranking precision (Relative L2-distance = 0.12). SHAP analysis revealed that communication and eye contact with the patient monitor are key drivers of variability. By linking AI-assisted anomaly detection with interpretable feedback, our framework addresses critical challenges of fairness, reliability, and transparency in simulation-based education. This work provides actionable evidence for integrating AI into medical training and advancing scalable, equitable evaluation of competence.
