Junior doctor-led simulation courses effectively prepare medical students for practice. These programs enhance confidence and competence, easing the transition to junior doctor roles and improving patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Skills Training
  • Healthcare Simulation

Background:

  • Transitioning from medical student to junior doctor presents significant challenges.
  • The UK General Medical Council stresses the need for adequate student preparation for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a junior doctor-led, simulation-based course in preparing final year medical students for junior doctor roles.
  • To assess student confidence and competence in key clinical areas.

Main Methods:

  • A three-day 'preparation for practice' course was piloted for final year medical students.
  • The course included four simulated stations: ward round, prescribing, handover, and lessons learned.
  • Quantitative and qualitative feedback was collected from student participants.

Main Results:

  • 99% rated the overall program quality as 4 or 5; 96% rated content relevance as 4 or 5.
  • High scores were achieved for ward round (67%), handover (58%), and prescribing (71%) stations.
  • Students reported increased confidence in prescribing after the relevant station.

Conclusions:

  • Simulation-based preparation for practice courses are effective and enjoyable for easing the student-to-doctor transition.
  • These programs, combined with on-the-job shadowing, can enhance student confidence, competence, and patient safety.
