An Investigation on the Perceptions of Practicing Interdisciplinary Health Professionals on Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice Simulation
Conclusions Participants received RCDP simulation positively. Initial negative reactions to the interruptions and pauses of RCDP dissipated as the simulation progressed. Ultimately, learners agreed that RCDP was extremely effective as compared with traditional simulation for medical resuscitation training because of the authenticity of the multidisciplinary aspect. This suggests that RCDP may be an effective tool for continuing education of practicing healthcare professionals.

Distance Learning During COVID-19 Mitigates Learning Loss for Interprofessional Education
Summary Statement On-site interprofessional education (IPE) simulation is primarily used to teach students teamwork, communication, and crisis resource management. Participants view it as an educational environment in which to acquire and consolidate skills. Virtual IPE simulation is traditionally seen as an opportunity to supplement, complement, and reinforce on-site IPE (OI). We used VI as the sole simulation method during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide IPE because of constraints of social distancing. The VI resulted in substantially achieving similar learning outcomes to OI. This suggests that VI, which has the ad...

Safety Considerations for In Situ Simulation in Closed SARS-CoV-2 Units
Summary Statement The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic placed a tremendous strain on the healthcare system, which led to the deployment of new personnel into acute care settings, early graduation of medical students, and development of new treatment spaces. Education teams at the Montefiore Health System and New York Health and Hospitals/Jacobi Medical Center found simulation, both laboratory-based and in situ, critical to the training of medical staff and investigation of latent safety threats. Through our experience, we encountered unique infection control concerns based on in sit...

Mass Training In Situ During COVID-19 Pandemic: Enhancing Efficiency and Minimizing Sick Leaves
Conclusions Massive training for COVID-19 patient management in frontline healthcare workers is feasible in a very short time and efficient in limiting the rate of sick leave. This experience could be used in the anticipation of new COVID-19 waves or for rapidly preparing hospital staff for an unexpected major health crisis.

Association of Simulation Participation With Diagnostic Reasoning Scores in Preclinical Students
Purpose The aim of the study was to evaluate for an association between the number of voluntary mannequin simulation sessions completed during the school year with scores on a year-end diagnostic reasoning assessment among second-year medical students. Method This is retrospective analysis of participation in 0 to 8 extracurricular mannequin simulation sessions on diagnostic reasoning assessed among 129 second-year medical students in an end-of-year evaluation. For the final skills assessment, 2 physicians measured students' ability to reason through a standardized case encounter using the Diagnostic Justificati...

Chemical Components of Smoke Produced From Versatile Training Tissue Models Using Electrocautery
Conclusions The concentration of organic compounds from VTT models is considered to be below relevant health risk limits and lower than from polyvinyl alcohol and porcine muscle models. Although porcine liver smoke contains less of the main organic compounds of concern than a KM, it contains potentially hazardous nitrile compounds that are absent in KM smoke. Therefore, surgical simulation and training with VTT models should be considered relatively safe for trainees.

Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Bystander Defibrillator Search Time and Experience With and Without Directional Assistance: A Randomized Simulation Trial in a Community Setting
Conclusions These findings may inform strategies to ensure that AEDs are consistently marked and placed in visible, accessible locations. Continued emphasis on developing strategies to improve lay bystanders' ability to locate and use AEDs may improve AED retrieval times and OHCA outcomes.

Simulation-Based Mastery Learning Improves Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Skills of Practicing Nurses
Introduction Difficult intravenous (IV) access (DIVA) is frequently encountered in the hospital setting. Ultrasound-guided peripheral IV catheter (USGPIV) insertion has emerged as an effective procedure to establish access in patients with DIVA. Despite the increased use of USGPIV, little is known about the optimal training paradigms for bedside nurses. Therefore, we developed and evaluated a novel, sustainable, USGPIV simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) curriculum for nurses. Methods This is a prospective cohort study of an USGPIV SBML training program for bedside nurses over a 12-month period. We evaluate...

“Talk-Through Walk-Through”—A Simulation Approach Adapted During Preparation for COVID-19
Summary Statement Talk-through walk-through is a simulation format that enables the rapid development and improvement of complex systems for patient care. This approach was adapted from task analysis literature and used to develop and test processes for the safe management of COVID-19 patients. Talk-through walk-through is a 2-part process that is paired with a simulated clinical scenario. The talk-through focuses on identifying and solving major process issues and establishing a shared mental model. The walk-through tests these proposed solutions and identifies previously unanticipated system and process challenges. T...
