Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Military Medicine
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Military general practitioners (GPs) often feel deskilled after civilian training, lacking preparedness for their unique roles.
  • The Royal College of General Practitioners curriculum inadequately addresses the diverse skillset needed for military GPs.
  • A significant training gap exists between civilian medical education and the demands of military general practice.

Discussion:

  • Co-creative curriculum development was employed to integrate essential military topics into GP specialty training.
  • High-fidelity medical simulation was identified as a crucial pedagogical tool to enhance learning and skill acquisition.
  • A structured training week incorporated layered teaching methods and feedback, culminating in an immersive simulation exercise.

Key Insights:

  • The developed curriculum effectively bridges the knowledge and skill deficit faced by military GPs.
  • Simulation-based training significantly improves trainees' confidence and competence in military medical scenarios.
  • The '10 goal conditions' for high-fidelity simulation were foundational to the educational design, ensuring effective learning.

Outlook:

  • This model provides a framework for enhancing military medical training programs globally.
  • Further research can explore long-term impacts of this training on GP performance and retention in military service.
  • Adapting simulation methodologies can address evolving challenges in military healthcare delivery.
