Summary

Student role-playing in clinical skills training significantly improved realism and engagement. Introducing defined roles like intern and senior consultant enhanced simulation-based medical education, leading to higher trainee satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Skills Training
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Clinical competence relies heavily on technical skills.
  • Simulation is a key tool in medical education, but its application in technical skills training is underexplored.
  • Current skills-lab training may lack realism and engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the realism and engagement of technical clinical skills training.
  • To evaluate the impact of introducing case studies and student role-playing into simulation sessions.
  • To compare trainee perceptions of sessions with and without role-playing.

Main Methods:

  • An educational intervention was implemented in clinical skills training.
  • Case studies and role-playing with defined student roles (intern, senior consultant) were introduced in half of the sessions.

  • Pre- and post-intervention student surveys were used for evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Initial skills-lab training was perceived as not very realistic or demanding.
    • Sessions incorporating role-playing and case studies were rated significantly higher by students.
    • Student involvement and perceived realism of training were enhanced by role-playing.

    Conclusions:

    • Student role-playing, with defined roles, is an effective method to increase realism and engagement in technical clinical skills training.
    • Simulation-based medical education can be significantly improved by incorporating interactive elements like role-playing.
    • This approach offers a valuable strategy for enhancing clinical competence through more immersive learning experiences.
