Here’s a great story from a resident’s point of view about simulation training. It seems that many of the elements here (manikins, manifested ailments, role of patient’s families) could be translated to a simulation program used for competency assessments.
Have any of you developed a similar program for your medical staff? Please share your stories in the comment boxes below.
