Suicide Simulation in Primary Care

CONCLUSIONS: Practicing this crucial but somewhat rare primary care mental health emergency for all interns was possible when structured monthly. Feedback was extremely positive, with learners' feeling more prepared postsimulation. Our simulation experience also allows supervisors to assess intern's individual abilities to communicate in a difficult patient scenario which is an important physician competency as defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.PMID:33655304 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001217
