Impact of a Multimodal Simulation-based Curriculum on Endobronchial Ultrasound Skills

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently there is no consensus on ideal teaching method to train novice trainees in EBUS. Simulation-based procedure training allows direct observation of trainees in a controlled environment without compromising patient safety.

Objective

We wanted to develop a comprehensive assessment of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) performance of pulmonary fellows and assess the impact of a multimodal simulation-based curriculum for EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration.

Methods

Pretest assessment of 11 novice pulmonary fellows was performed using a three-part assessment tool, measuring EBUS-related knowledge, self-confidence, and procedural skills. Knowledge was assessed by 20 multiple-choice questions. Self-confidence was measured using the previously va
