A needs assessment for simulation-based training of emergency medical providers in Nebraska, USA.

Conclusion: EMS and ED staff identified several skill gaps and training needs in the provision of emergency services in rural communities. These results allow for the development of customized training curricula and, with the help of an on-site simulation-based program, can identify gaps in health professionals' skills, knowledge, and abilities and thus help them respond to acute healthcare needs of rural communities.
