Clinical students found simulator-based teaching highly valuable for enhancing critical thinking and practical skills. They overwhelmingly rated the experience excellent and recommended increased mandatory simulation exposure in medical education.

Area of Science:

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

Background:

  • Clinical clerkships are crucial for medical student development.
  • Traditional training methods have limitations in providing risk-free practice.
  • Simulator-based teaching offers a novel approach to supplement clinical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze clinical clerkship students' experiences with simulator-based teaching.
  • To understand student perspectives on the utility and effectiveness of simulation.
  • To identify areas for improvement in simulation-based medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of free-text evaluations from 95 clinical students.
  • Students participated in a 2-hour simulator session managing acute scenarios.

  • Thematic coding of student commentary on strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions.

    • Main Results:

    • Students highlighted "Applied Cognition and Critical Thought" (53%) and the "Teaching/Learning Environment" (80%) as key benefits.
    • Positive feedback focused on decision-making, active learning, realism, and safety.
    • 94% rated the session "excellent," with 91% recommending mandatory participation.

    Conclusions:

    • Full-body simulation effectively addresses diverse pedagogical objectives.
    • Students highly value "practice without risk" and desire more simulation exposure.
    • Simulation can solidify knowledge, enhance critical thinking, technical skills, and teamwork.
