Area of Science:

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

Background:

  • Growing concern regarding medical students' preparedness for junior doctor responsibilities.
  • Lack of student confidence in managing acutely unwell patients identified as a barrier to care.
  • Increasing investment in simulation equipment by medical schools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the effectiveness of near-peer simulation training for medical students.
  • To assess if this training format improves confidence in managing acutely unwell patients.
  • To evaluate the benefits for both student learners and student educators.

Main Methods:

  • Third-year and above medical students participated in 90-minute simulation sessions.
  • Sessions designed and delivered by final-year medical students using curriculum-mapped scenarios.
  • Students assessed, investigated, and managed simulated acutely unwell patients.
  • Pre- and post-training Likert scale questionnaires measured self-reported confidence.

Main Results:

  • 100% response rate from 25 participating students; 52% had no prior simulation experience.
  • Statistically significant improvements in self-reported confidence across all six assessed areas (p < 0.005).
  • Qualitative analysis revealed positive feedback on the practical format and usefulness of the training.

Conclusions:

  • Near-peer simulation training offers benefits for both student teachers and learners.
  • This simple model is easily replicable across different medical schools.
  • Simulation empowers students to practice independently in a safe environment, potentially reducing anxiety and improving patient care.
