Simulation and Medical Student Participation Augment Fidelity in a Resident-As-Teacher Course

Another abstract I just published with two colleagues from the department of emergency medicine. In this project we were evaluating the effectiveness of using live medical students in our course that teaches residents how to be more effective teachers. We use simulation vignettes to allow the residents to practice teaching medical students and then hold a debriefing. In a way the medical students are playing in the role of a “standardized person (SP)”. The residents value the participation of the medical students
