Does simulation work? Monthly trauma simulation and procedural training are associated with decreased time to intervention

CONCLUSION High-complexity, routine procedural training, and trauma simulation are associated with decreased time to interventions within a short period of time. Routine implementation of a training program emphasizing efficient, effective approaches to bedside procedures is necessary to train our residents in these high-acuity, low-frequency situations. Future investigations are warranted in the effect of simulation on short-term and long-term patient outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, level III.
