Simulated trauma patient models significantly improved medical students' trauma skills and knowledge compared to the previous program. The new Trauma Evaluation and Management (TEAM) program is recommended for wider adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Trauma Care Training
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Student feedback led to the development of a new Trauma Evaluation and Management (TEAM) program incorporating simulated trauma patient models.
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the new TEAM program against the old program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of simulated trauma patient models on medical students' performance.
  • To compare the efficacy of the new TEAM program with the previous version.

Main Methods:

  • Final year medical students were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups.
  • Both groups completed a trauma multiple-choice questionnaire examination (MCQE) pre- and post-intervention.
  • Experimental groups participated in either the old or new TEAM program.

Main Results:

  • The new TEAM program, utilizing simulated patients, resulted in a statistically significant greater increase in post-test scores compared to the old program.
  • 97.3% of students in the new program rated improvement in trauma skills (vs. 51.6% in the old program).
  • 85% of students achieved honors pass marks with the new TEAM format, compared to none with the old format.

Conclusions:

  • Simulated trauma patient models are highly effective in enhancing both trauma knowledge and skills.
  • The new TEAM program demonstrates superior outcomes, warranting wider implementation in medical education.
