Evaluation of a Simulation Training Program for Uncomplicated Fishhook Removal

Conclusions This study is the first to describe a simulation training program for uncomplicated fishhook removal, and to experimentally evaluate physician learning and preferences for fishhook removal techniques. After a brief educational session, physicians could effectively use all techniques except needle cover. Simple retrograde was the overall preferred technique.
