First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of facilitating real-time competency-based feedback by a trainer to a trainee in a training environment for independent professional practice, using a computer, comprising the steps of:
- during or immediately following an interaction in the training environment for independent professional practice where the trainer observes during the interaction the trainee interacting with a third party in which a medical service is being rendered to, or a medical procedure is being performed on, the third party by the trainer or by the trainee or by both, initiating an interactive session on a client computer and responsive thereto receiving input from a user interface device of the client computer indicative of at least one goal of a plurality of goals achieved by the trainee during the interactive session and causing to be displayed within a first frame on a display device of the client computer in the setting an indication of the at least one goal achieved, the plurality of goals being associated with a selected competency of a plurality of competencies and each of the plurality of goals being associated with one of a plurality of levels within the selected competency;
publishing a topic indicating that the at least one goal has been achieved and notifying a subscriber manager controlled by a server computer that the input has been received relative to the first frame;
a subscriber in the subscriber manager instructing a second frame to refresh a competency level score based on the received input indicating the at least one goal;
calculating a new competency level score for the selected competency based on the number of goals from among the plurality of goals inputted as being achieved by the trainee, and displaying simultaneously with the first frame, within the second frame on the display device, a representation based on at least the calculated competency level score without refreshing objects displayed in the first frame.

Abstract
System and computer-implemented method of facilitating real-time competency-based feedback by a trainer to a trainee in a training environment for independent professional practice. An interactive session is initiated during or immediately following an interaction in the training environment for independent professional practice where the trainer observes during the interaction the trainee interacting with a third party. A user, which can be the trainee or trainer, enters a goal or a skill level rating for a competency or procedure in a first blade. A topic indicating the inputted information is published, and a subscriber manager is notified, which instructs a corresponding subscriber to instruct a second blade to refresh a score based on the inputted information. A server calculates a new score based on the inputted information, and only the second blade, but not the first blade, which is decoupled from the second blade, is refreshed to display the new score.

12. A computer-implemented method of facilitating real-time competency-based feedback from a trainer to a trainee in a training environment for independent professional practice, using a computer, comprising the steps of:
-
initiating, responsive to authenticating authentication credentials associated with the trainee or responsive to authenticating authentication credentials associated with the trainer, an interactive session on a computer; during the interactive session, receiving, via a user interface device associated with the computer, inputs indicative of a plurality of goals achieved by the trainee, each of the goals being associated with one of a plurality of competency levels related to the independent professional practice; responsive to receiving each of the inputs indicative of the plurality of goals achieved by the trainee and during the interactive session, computing a competency level score for the associated one of the competency levels based on those of the goals achieved by the trainee and associated with the associated one of the competency levels, wherein the computing the competency level score is carried out only when the authentication credentials associated with the trainer have been authenticated; responsive to the computing, displaying on a display device a representation based on at least the competency level score during the interactive session; during the interactive session, receiving, via the user interface device, inputs indicative of a plurality of skill level ratings each associated with one of a plurality of procedural steps related to the independent professional practice; responsive to receiving each of the inputs indicative of the plurality of skill level ratings and during the interactive session, computing a skill level score based on those of the skill level ratings for the associated one of the plurality of procedural steps, wherein the computing the skill level score is carried out only when the authentication credentials associated with the trainer have been authenticated; responsive to the computing, displaying on the display device a representation based on at least the skill level rating during the interactive session; and responsive to the interactive session being initiated responsive to authenticating the authentication credentials associated with the trainee; receiving during the interactive session, via the user interface device or another user interface device, authentication credentials associated with the trainer; and authenticating the authentication credentials associated with the trainer to log the trainer in to the interactive session with the trainee.
