The Development and Implementation of a Simulation Orientation Curriculum for Newly Hired Pediatric Emergency Medicine Attending Physicians.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The transition from trainee to new attending physician can be overwhelming. Simulation has been shown to be effective in orienting trainees to the emergency department (ED) but there is limited literature on simulation for the orientation of newly hired attending physicians.

Objective of the innovation

The objective of this innovation was to develop, implement, and evaluate a simulation curriculum to supplement the orientation of newly hired attending physicians in our emergency department.

Development process and implementation

We developed a year-long quarterly simulation curriculum guided by Kern's six-step curricular design model. Based on a targeted needs assessment, nine scenarios were chosen for inclusion. These scenarios were arranged to start the c
