SDOT

The SDOT is the standardized direct observation tool developed by CORD.  If desired by an individual residency, completed SDOTs can be input with core competency averages calculated.  See instructions under "SDOT."

Procedure Competency

If a residency desires, CORDTests.org can be used to assess procedural competency by attesting to the number of checkoff sheets completed for high risk procedures, individual tests for each procedure, and competency assessment.    Procedure tests available:

Arthrocentesis    Central Lines    Chest Tubes    Lumbar Puncture    Conscious Sedation    Intubation
