Cardiac Auscultation Lab Using a Heart Sounds Auscultation Simulation Manikin.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Cardiac auscultation skills are essential to the development of a competent physician. We created a hypothesis-driven cardiac auscultation laboratory session utilizing a high-fidelity simulator to teach these skills to second-year medical students at our institution. This program was grounded in deliberate practice opportunities to aid in the acquisition of cardiac auscultation skills. Methods:This session aimed to help students identify and discriminate between normal and pathologic heart sounds in the context of a clinical vignette. Faculty facilitators guided students through unknown patient cases and utilized the auscultation manikin to simulate corresponding heart sounds. Time was also allotted for students to auscultate the manikins and practice their cardiac physical ex
