Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation and Training
  • Military Health Sciences
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Military healthcare reserve forces face training challenges due to downsizing and budget constraints.
  • Traditional training methods may not adequately prepare personnel for deployment operational experiences.
  • There is a need for innovative and effective training solutions to enhance military medical readiness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a simulation-based military healthcare training curriculum.
  • To assess the effectiveness of simulation training in improving military unit cohesion and identifying skill gaps.
  • To provide a replicable model for other military units seeking to enhance their training programs.

Main Methods:

  • Collaboration between a university simulation center and a military unit.
  • Development of a curriculum using deliberate practice and skills stations.
  • Implementation of realistic scenarios, including improvised explosive device events and psychiatric simulations with standardized patients.

Main Results:

  • High completion rates: 87% of medical technicians and 92% of registered nurses completed the training.
  • Identification of training needs: 12 out of 38 participants required additional support.
  • Positive participant feedback: Trainees reported high satisfaction and perceived value of the simulation training.

Conclusions:

  • Simulation-based training significantly improved team cohesiveness and provided valuable insights into unit capabilities.
  • The training offered a clearer assessment of individual knowledge and skills compared to traditional methods.
  • The developed curriculum and resources are available for other military units to adopt and adapt.
