Evolution of a Simulation Faculty Development Program in a Low-Resource Setting
Summary Statement The PediSTARS Faculty Development Program is a novel approach for simulation faculty training with an aim to increase the pool of trained simulation faculty in India and neighboring countries that could then facilitate simulation-based training, both at their own workplaces and in the PediSTARS simulation-based workshops that provide training in pediatric and neonatal emergencies. This commentary describes the evolution of the faculty development program, the initial process, the feedback obtained, the changes undertaken, the progress made to date, and the challenges ahead. There is also an emphasis o...

Factors Affecting Implementation of Simulation-Based Education After Faculty Training in a Low-Resource Setting
Conclusions This study demonstrates the importance of institutional leadership support for simulation-based training and also that new instructors should focus on training teams in the workplace and mapping simulation activities to existing curricula. These results have wide applicability to a variety of health care settings and instructor training programs. Collaboration between organizations for further research about the impact of simulation-based training on patient safety and outcomes is also required.

The Challenges of Dyad Practice in Simulation Training of Basic Open Surgical Skills—A Mixed-Method Study
This study aimed to examine the effect of self-regulated training of basic surgical skills in pairs versus individually. Methods One hundred one medical doctors were included in this prospective, mixed-method, simulation-based study. Participants were randomized to train individually or in pairs during a 6-week course in open surgical skills, consisting of didactic instructions and self-directed training at home. Trainees kept a training log and filled in a questionnaire. Skills were tested before and after the course. Tests were rated by an expert using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills Global...

Simulation for Neonatal Endotracheal Intubation Training: How Different Is It From Clinical Practice?
Conclusions Simulation-based training does not fully prepare neonatal-perinatal medicine fellows for neonatal intubation. Mannequins with unique active features, such as multiple airway configurations, slipperiness, secretions, and softer textures should be developed. Realistic environments that replicate the interprofessional nature and stressors of the clinical environment might better prepare learners for the complexity of clinical practice.

Use of an Observer Tool to Enhance Observers' Learning of Anesthesia Residents During High-Fidelity Simulation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions This study suggests that observing high-fidelity simulation scenarios using an OT based on a cognitive aid increases the medical knowledge gain when compared with that seen in passive observers. This study suggests that the use of an OT improves the educational value of simulation. (Source: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare)

High-Fidelity Patient Simulation Incorporated Into a Flipped Classroom Improves Students' Long-Term Knowledge Retention of Acute Organophosphorus Pesticide Poisoning
In this study, we aimed to explore the incorporation of HFPS into the FC and the impact on the long-term (3 months after classes) knowledge retention of medical undergraduate students learning about acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP). Methods Eighty-two fifth-year medical students were randomly divided into an HFPS group (HG, n = 40) and an FC group (FG, n = 42). A postclass quiz and preinternship quiz were performed to assess the short-term knowledge acquisition and long-term (3 months after classes) knowledge retention of both groups of students. Feedback questionnaires were administered immediately...

Personalized Training Schedules for Retention and Sustainment of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills
Conclusions Results suggest that CPR learning trajectories may be accelerated by first spacing training sessions by days and then expanding to longer intervals. Personalized scheduling may improve performance, minimize performance variability, and reduce overall training time.

Improving Safety Recommendations Before Implementation: A Simulation-Based Event Analysis to Optimize Interventions Designed to Prevent Recurrence of Adverse Events
Conclusions Even interventions developed through improved analysis techniques, like SBEA, require testing and modification. Simulation optimizes interventions and provides opportunity to assess efficacy in real-life settings with clinicians before widespread implementation.

Evaluation of Communication and Safety Behaviors During Hospital-Wide Code Response Simulation
Conclusions In a simulation setting with ad hoc teams, there was variable performance on completing safety behaviors and only a fair quality of graded communication behaviors. These results establish a baseline assessment of communication and teamwork behaviors and will guide future quality improvement interventions.

Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice Improves Retention of Pediatric Resuscitation Skills Compared With Postsimulation Debriefing
Introduction Rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) for teaching team-based resuscitation is associated with similar improvements in immediate performance as compared with postsimulation debriefing (PSD). Limited studies compare skill retention between these 2 modalities. Our objective was to compare retention of team leader performance in residents trained with RCDP versus PSD. Methods This was a cluster-randomized trial comparing RCDP and PSD from January 2018 to April 2019. Pediatric and emergency medicine residents participated in simulation-based pediatric resuscitation education, and teams were randomized ...
