The feasibility of ISS in emergency medicine is an important research question, because ISS offers the possibility for repetitive, regular simulation training consistent with specific local needs. However, ISS also raises the issue of safety, since it might negatively impact the care of other patients in the emergency department (ED). Our hypothesis is that ISS in an academic high-volume ED is feasible, safe and associated with benefits for both staff and patients.<h4>Methods</h4>A mixed-method, including a qualitative method for the assessment of feasibility and acceptability and a quantitative method for the assessment of patients' safety and BMJ openEvaluation of the feasibility and impacts of in situ simulation in emergency medicine-a mixed-method study protocol.PMC79347323967Marcotte JCote GGarneau CMalo CMartel GBrassard EEmond MBoucher VTruchot JBouchard GRaymond-Dufresne EfalseEvaluation of the feasibility and impacts of in situ simulation in emergency medicine-a mixed-method study protocol.<h4>Introduction</h4>In situ simulation (ISS) consists of performing a simulation in the everyday working environment with the usual team members.
