Summary:
Professionals such as medical doctors, airplane pilots, lawyers, and technical specialists find that some of their peers have reached high levels of achievement that are
difficult to measure objectively. In order to understand to what extent it is possible to learn from these expert performers for the purpose of helping other improve their performance, we
first need to reproduce and measure this performance. This book is designed to provide the first comprehensive overview of research on the acquisition and training of professional performance
as measured by objective methods rather than by subjective ratings by supervisors. In this collection of articles, the world's foremost experts discuss methods for assessing the expert's
knowledge and review how we measure professional performance and design-training environments that permit beginning and experienced professionals to develop and maintain their high levels of
performance, using examples from a wide range of professional domains.
