Capstone Simulation: A Multipatient Simulation for Senior Emergency Medicine Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Emergency medicine (EM) trainees must learn to manage multiple patients simultaneously using task-switching. While prior work has demonstrated that multipatient scenarios can be an effective teaching tool for task-switching, few studies have shown how simulation can be used to assess residents' ability to manage multiple patients effectively. The goal of this curriculum was to provide a formative assessment of core EM skills by employing a series of simulations designed to require frequent task-switching.

Methods

This exercise consisted of three simulation scenarios running in sequence. The first scenario involved medical resuscitation and advanced cardiac life support, the second required learners to manage two patients involved in a trauma using advanced traum
