Improving Self-Confidence of Military Medical Providers With Joint Procedure Simulation: A Pilot Study

CONCLUSION: Simulation training can lead to increased medical provider self-confidence in performing musculoskeletal joint aspirations and injections in both clinic and austere settings. The military medicine demographics have had little research in joint injections and provider confidence to date. This pilot study was one of the first to evaluate this unique population. The methods used in this study, and the positive data collected on provider confidence, can be used in larger studies, encompassing other medical providers to increase the confidence of providers throughout various fields of medicine.PMID:34318332 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab319
