Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Simulation Technology

Background:

  • Traditional emergency medicine residency training faces challenges in assessing core competencies.
  • Human simulation offers a risk-free method for evaluating resident performance on realistic patient scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a comprehensive three-year curriculum for emergency medicine residents.
  • To integrate human simulation for both teaching and formative assessment of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a curriculum featuring 15 simulated patient encounters.
  • Gradual increase in encounter difficulty, complexity, and realism over three years.
  • Focus on patient care, communication, professionalism, and practice-based learning within each case.

Main Results:

  • The proposed curriculum systematically incorporates human simulation across a three-year emergency medicine residency.
  • Core competencies are integrated into simulated patient encounters, allowing for skill development and assessment.
  • Current limitations of assessment tools necessitate the use of simulation for formative evaluations only.

Conclusions:

  • Human simulation provides a valuable tool for training and assessing emergency medicine residents.
  • This curriculum framework addresses the need for realistic, competency-based education in emergency medicine.
  • Implementation requires careful planning regarding program organization and initiation.
