Augmented Reality Microsurgery: A Tool for Training Micromanipulations in Ophthalmic Surgery Using Augmented Reality
Conclusions Results of this study demonstrate the usability of AR simulation in training micromanipulation skills and support the claim that simulators can be used in ophthalmic surgery training. This study also extends the existing literature by demonstrating an application of ITS for surgical training. The potential of this method is further analyzed in ongoing studies and discussions with experts in ophthalmic surgery.

The Physical-Virtual Patient Simulator: A Physical Human Form With Virtual Appearance and Behavior
Conclusions We are encouraged by the initial results and user feedback regarding the perceived realism of visual (eg, mottling), audio (eg, breathing sounds), and tactile (eg, temperature) cues displayed by the PVPS, and ease of interaction with the simulator.

Lack of Diversity in Simulation Technology: An Educational Limitation?
Summary Statement Despite increased attention on diversity in medicine and healthcare, heterogeneity in simulation technology has been slow to follow suit. In a nonsystematic review of simulation technology available in 2018 with respect to skin tone, age and sex, we found limited diversity in these offerings, suggesting limitations to educators' abilities to represent the full array of patients, conditions, and scenarios encountered in medicine and training. We highlight these limitations and propose basic strategies by which educators can increase awareness of and incorporate diversity into the simulation arena. (Sourc...

Peer Role-Play for Training Communication Skills in Medical Students: A Systematic Review
Summary Statement Peer role-play (PRP) is a simulation-based training method (SBTM) in which medical students alternately play the patient's and clinician's role. This review aimed to assess the effectiveness of PRP for improving the communication skills of medical students. A systematic search was conducted in the MedLine, PsycInfo, and ERIC databases. Studies were qualitatively analyzed according to the Kirkpatrick evaluation level (Kirkpatrick level) and the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument. Twenty-two studies were included. Studies assessing the “reaction” of students (Kirkpatrick level 1, n =...

The Effectiveness of Simulation-Based Team Training in Obstetrics Emergencies for Improving Technical Skills: A Systematic Review
Summary Statement This review explores the effectiveness of simulation-based team training in obstetric emergencies for improving technical skills. A literature search was conducted that included all articles to January 2018. A total of 21 articles were included from a potential 1327 articles. Each included study was assessed for impact of the training program using Kirkpatrick's 4-level model. Only the performance of technical skills was evaluated. Five studies reported on acceptance of simulation as an education tool at a level 1. Level 2 outcomes were reported in 7 studies where staff demonstrated improved skills in ...

Simulation-Based Examination of Arterial Line Insertion Method Reveals Interdisciplinary Practice Differences
Introduction Arterial cannulation is frequently performed on intensive care unit (ICU) and operating room patients; a 1% complication rate has been reported. Investigators applied simulation to study clinical providers' arterial catheter (AC) insertion performance and to assess for interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary variation that may contribute to complications. Methods Anesthesia, medical critical care, and surgical critical care providers with AC insertion experience were enrolled at 2 academic hospitals. Each subject completed a simulated AC insertion on an in situ task trainer. Using a Delphi-derived checkli...

Caregiver Characteristics Associated With Quality of Cardiac Compressions on an Adult Mannequin With Real-Time Visual Feedback: A Simulation-Based Multicenter Study
Conclusions Anthropometrics impact provider CC quality. Despite visual feedback, variable effects are seen on compression depth, rate, recoil, and fatigue depending on the provider sex, weight, and BMI. The 2-minute interval for changing chest compressors should be reconsidered based on individual provider characteristics and risk of fatigue's impact on high-quality CPR.

Transfer of Clinical Reasoning Trained With a Serious Game to Comparable Clinical Problems: A Prospective Randomized Study
Conclusions Previous exposure had limited impact on subsequent performance in similar cases. This study suggests that case specificity of learning outcome elicited by the serious game is low and that acquired higher-order cognitive functions may transfer to similar virtual patients.

Comparison of Resident Self-Evaluation to Standardized Patient Evaluators in a Multi-Institutional Objective Structured Clinical Examination: Objectively Measuring Residents' Communication and Counseling Skills
Background For the past 30 years, there has been a growing emphasis on communication and self-evaluation skills training in graduate medical education. This is reflected in the Next Accreditation System. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is widely used in graduate medical education for assessing dimensions of interpersonal communication and counseling skills. The OSCEs may be developed to target challenging clinical scenarios difficult to capture in clinical practice and can be used as a medium for resident self-evaluation. Objectives The aims of the study were to evaluate residents' interpersonal, ...

Three-dimensional–Printed Computed Tomography–Based Bone Models for Spine Surgery Simulation
Conclusions Models created using the novel methodology realistically reproduce the haptic properties during a trocar placement into the vertebral body. The models are compatible with conventional x-ray imaging. Because the models correspond to real patient CT data, those can alternatively be used in simulation environments that simulate fluoroscopy or CT image guidance to produce highly realistic, radiation-free imaging output.

A Conceptual Framework for the Development of Debriefing Skills: A Journey of Discovery, Growth, and Maturity
Summary Statement Despite the critical importance of debriefing in simulation-based education, existing literature offers little guidance on how debriefing skills develop over time. An elaboration of the trajectory through which debriefing expertise evolves would help inform educators looking to enhance their skills. In this article, we present a new conceptual framework for the development of debriefing skills based on a modification of Dreyfus and Dreyfus' model of skill development. For each of the 3 stages of debriefing skill development—discovery, growth, and maturity, we highlight characteristics of debriefers, r...
