Development and implementation of a novel, mandatory competency-based medical education simulation program for pediatric emergency medicine faculty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maintaining acute care physician competence is critically important. Current maintenance of certification (MOC) programs has started to incorporate simulation-based education (SBE). However, competency expectations have not been defined. This article describes the development of a mandatory annual SBE, competency-based simulation program for technical and resuscitation skills for pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians.
