Without evidence for how trainees think about their simulation-based learning, some training techniques may not support trainees' learning strategies.<h4>Objective</h4>This study explored how residents think about and self-regulate learning during a lumbar puncture (LP) training session using a simulator.<h4>Methods</h4>In 2010, 20 of 45 postgraduate year 1 internal medicine residents attended a mandatory procedural skills training boot camp. Independently, residents practiced the entire LP skill on a part-task trainer using a clinical LP tray and proper sterile technique. We interviewed participants regarding how they thought about and monitored their learning processes, and Journal of graduate medical education364-71https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4936854biostudies-literatureExamining Residents' Strategic Mindfulness During Self-Regulated Learning of a Simulated Procedural Skill.PMC4936854Brydges RHatala RMylopoulos MfalseExamining Residents' Strategic Mindfulness During Self-Regulated Learning of a Simulated Procedural Skill.<h4>Background</h4>Simulation-based training is currently embedded in most health professions education curricula.
