The knowledge and self-efficacy pre-tests will be completed at the start of the course and the post-test will be completed after the course at the end of the day. Study participants will complete tests independently using paper and pencil. Six weeks and six months post course completion, the knowledge and self-efficacy tests will be completed using REDcap (Research Electronic Data Capture), a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases or via telephone as per participant preference. Study participants will be sent a link to complete the tests online for the subsequent study visits. Study participants will receive 2 reminder emails (1 week apart) and 1 reminder phone call after the email reminders (if applicable) to complete the tests. Monthly telephone calls by the RA will be made to review the HCP experience logs.

Study participants in the control arm will be offered complementary attendance in the Health Tech Junior enterostomy and vascular access competency based training course while awaiting their session. This is being done to minimize the potential confound of generalized improvements in self-efficacy that may occur as a result of participating in an 8 hour learning opportunity at SickKids. The control group will also complete the tracheostomy course during session 3 and 4 but this will occur outside the window of data collection for the study procedures. Data collection intervals as described above for the intervention group will be followed for the control group.

A standardized competency-based education tracheostomy module has been developed by the investigator group in collaboration with Respiratory Medicine, Complex Care, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing Education, Family Advisory Network and the Learning Institute at SickKids. Instructional methods for the full module are based on principles of adult learning and evidence from the procedure education literature and include the use of interactive, small-group teaching, hands-on simulation-based learning stations with relevant equipment as well as a formal assessment of knowledge and skills using simulation. Pre-learning packages are sent to course attendees at the time of registration to facilitate higher level discussions on the day of the course. While investigators have rigorously developed the curriculum and evaluation measures, the course outcomes remain unknown.

Knowledge Assessment - Tracheostomy Tubes: Multiple choice question (MCQ) tests have been developed by clinical experts. These tests focus on the important knowledge required to care for a child with a tracheostomy tube. Major themes include: i) clinical assessment; ii) safety; iii) general care; iv) troubleshooting/ emergency management. Higher Scores mean better knowledge retention.
