Simulation-based training in brain death determination incorporating family discussion: An update on an ongoing project (P1.060)

Conclusions:As more participants are included in the analysis, results continue to suggest a benefit in simulation training focusing on clinical assessment and family discussion regarding the diagnosis of brain death. We plan to continue recruiting more participants while codifying the communication technique curriculum. Based on this study’s positive results, we recommend the addition of this type of brain death simulation training into the Neurology Residency Milestone Assessments.Disclosure: Dr. Douglas has nothing to disclose.
