Examining Residents' Strategic Mindfulness During Self-Regulated Learning of a Simulated Procedural Skill.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simulation-based training is currently embedded in most health professions education curricula. Without evidence for how trainees think about their simulation-based learning, some training techniques may not support trainees' learning strategies.
