Co-creation and delivery of a simulation-based learning model for locally employed doctors: Findings from the SIMBA-LED study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Locally employed doctors (LEDs) form a substantial part of the healthcare workforce, but often lack structured educational support. Simulation via Instant Messaging for Bedside Application (SIMBA) is a simulation-based learning model that has been shown to enhance confidence in clinical practice. This study developed and assessed a tailored SIMBA programme for LEDs, focusing on acute medical scenarios.

Design and setting

A serial cross-sectional study was conducted (July 2023-January 2024) using Kern's six-step framework. The programme was delivered online via mobile and computer platforms.

Participants and interventions

Forty-six LEDs participated. Stakeholder and participant interviews informed an LED-specific intervention, delivered throug
