Tapping into Efficient Learning: An Exploration of the Impact of Sequential Learning on Skill Gains and Learning Curves in Central Venous Catheterization Simulator Training.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Medical residents learn how to perform many complex procedures in a short amount of time. Sequential learning, or learning in stages, is a method applied to complex motor skills to increase skill acquisition and retention but has not been widely applied in simulation-based training (SBT). Central venous catheterization (CVC) training could benefit from the implementation of sequential learning. CVC is typically taught with task trainers such as the dynamic haptic robotic trainer (DHRT). This study aims to determine the impact of sequential learning on skill gains and learning curves in CVC SBT by implementing a sequential learning walkthrough into the DHRT.

Methods

103 medical residents participated in CVC training in 2021 and 2022. One group (N = 44) receiv
