MANUSCRIPT: Simulation based education – models for teaching surgical skills in general practice

BACKGROUND: Simulation based education is an accepted method of teaching procedural skills in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. There is an increasing need for developing authentic simulation models for use in general practice training. OBJECTIVE: This article describes the preparation of three simulation models to teach general practice registrars basic surgical skills,

ABSTRACT: Designing and using computer simulations in medical education and training: an introduction

Computer-based technologies informed by the science of learning are becoming increasingly prevalent in education and training. For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging

ABSTRACT: Evaluation of medical simulations

Simulations hold great promise for medical education, but not all simulations are effective, and reviews of simulation-based medical education research indicate that most evaluations of the effectiveness of medical simulations have not been of sufficient technical quality to produce trustworthy results. This article discusses issues associated with the technical quality

ABSTRACT: Adaptive and perceptual learning technologies in medical education and training

Recent advances in the learning sciences offer remarkable potential to improve medical education and maximize the benefits of emerging medical technologies. This article describes 2 major innovation areas in the learning sciences that apply to simulation and other aspects of medical learning: Perceptual learning (PL) and adaptive learning technologies. PL

ABSTRACT: Mastery learning for health professionals using technology-enhanced simulation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

PURPOSE: Competency-based education requires individualization of instruction. Mastery learning, an instructional approach requiring learners to achieve a defined proficiency before proceeding to the next instructional objective, offers one approach to individualization. The authors sought to summarize the quantitative outcomes of mastery learning simulation-based medical education (SBME) in comparison with no intervention

ABSTRACT: Design and Development of a Virtual Reality Simulator for Advanced Cardiac Life Support Training.

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) training tools for medical education could lead to improvements in the skills of clinicians while providing economic incentives for healthcare institutions. The use of VR tools can also mitigate some of the drawbacks currently associated with providing medical training in a traditional clinical environment

ABSTRACT: Integrating Actors into a Simulation Program: A Primer

We describe our more than 10 years' experience working with actors and provide a "how-to" guide to recruiting, auditioning, hiring, training, and mentoring actors for work as simulated patients in simulation programs. We contend that trained actors add great realism, richness, and depth to simulation-based training programs. The actors experience

MANUSCRIPT: “Best Practice” Skills Lab Training vs. a “see one, do one” Approach in Undergraduate Medical Education: An RCT on Students’ Long-Term Ability to Perform Procedural Clinical Skills.

BACKGROUND: Benefits of skills lab training are widely accepted, but there is sparse research on its long-term effectiveness. We therefore conducted a prospective, randomised controlled-trial to investigate whether in a simulated setting students trained according to a "best practice" model (BPSL) perform two skills of different complexity (nasogastral tube insertion, NGT;

ABSTRACT: The Evolving Role of Online Virtual Patients in Internal Medicine Clerkship Education Nationally.

PURPOSE: Despite the significant resources required to develop and maintain virtual patient (VP) programs, little is known about why this innovation has been adopted and how it is implemented. Understanding needs and implementation strategies is important for effective curriculum planning. METHOD: In 2009 and 2011, surveys were offered to 110 U.S. internal medicine

ABSTRACT: History of simulation in medicine: from resusci annie to the ann myers medical center

Medical and surgical graduate medical education has historically used a halstedian approach of "see one, do one, teach one." Increased public demand for safety, quality, and accountability in the setting of regulated resident work hours and limited resources is driving the development of innovative educational tools. The use of simulation
