The multitasking competency includes ability to appropriately prioritize and implement tasks for different patients who present simultaneously.<h4>Methods</h4>We designed three single task stations with different levels of difficulty and priority. These skill stations were then combined to create a multitasking simulation scenario. Skill checklists and the global rating scale were utilized to assess the participants' performance. A multitasking score, multitasking index, and priority score were developed to measure the multitasking ability of participants.<h4>Results</h4>Thirty-three first-year postgraduate physicians were recruited for this prospective study. The total performance scores were significantly higher for the single-tasking stations than for the multitasking scenario. In terms of the time needed to complete the tasks, the participants spent more time on the multitasking scenario than on the single-tasking scenario. There were significant correlations between the global rating scale and the multitasking score (rho = 0.693, p < 0.001) and between the global rating scale and the multitasking index (rho = 0.515, p < 0.001). The multitasking score, multitasking index, and priority score did not have any significant correlations with the total single-tasking score.<h4>Conclusion</h4>We demonstrated that the use of a simulated multitasking scenario could be an effective method of assessing multitasking ability and allow assessors to offer better quality feedback.Wen-Cheng HuangShih-Chang HsuChih-Hao YangChe-Wei LinFat-Moon SukKai-Chun HuYun-Yu WuHao-Yu ChenChin-Wang HsuPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 9, p e0257887 (2021)
