Team performance training for medical students: Low vs high fidelity simulation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study is to evaluate a simulation-based team performance course for medical students and compare its low- and high-fidelity components.

Study design

This is a prospective crossover observational study. Groups participated in one low- and one high-fidelity session twice. Low-fidelity scenarios included management of an emergency case on a simulated-patient, whereas high-fidelity scenarios constituted of multiple-trauma cases where simulated-patients wore a hyper-realistic suit. Team performance was assessed objectively, using the TEAM™ tool, and subjectively using questionnaires. Questionnaires were also used to assess presence levels, stress levels and evaluate the course.

Results

Participants' team performance was higher in the low-fidelity
