    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Trauma Care
    • Simulation-Based Training

    Background:

    • The Advanced Combat Medical Experience (ACME) is a training program for second-year medical students at the Uniformed Services University (USU).
    • Effective tourniquet application is critical for managing severe hemorrhage in combat settings.
    • Assessing the impact of simulation-based training on procedural skills is essential for medical education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of the ACME program in improving medical students' tourniquet application skills.
    • To determine if simulation-based training leads to significant changes in performance and efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • A panel of emergency medicine physicians developed a standardized assessment for tourniquet application.
    • Trained raters evaluated students' performance before and after ACME participation.
    • A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze pretest and posttest scores and application times.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant improvement was observed in students' tourniquet application ratings post-ACME.
    • The time required for tourniquet application significantly decreased after participation in the ACME program.
    • The study demonstrated a positive impact of progressive simulation on skill acquisition.

    Conclusions:

    • Progressive simulation-based education, as exemplified by ACME, is effective for teaching Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) skills.
    • The ACME program successfully enhanced critical medical skills for military trainees.
    • Simulation offers a valuable modality for improving proficiency in emergency medical procedures.
