Most simulation is structured with an uninterrupted scenario with postsimulation debriefing (PSD). Rapid-cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) is structured with a series of simulations with microdebriefing quickly switching within action targeting specific performance goals.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective was to compare team performance immediately after training, as well as learner workload, for teams trained using either PSD or RCDP.<h4>Methods</h4>In 2018-2019, a total of 41 interprofessional teams of 210 residents and nurses were recruited from 250 eligible participants (84%) and randomized into either arm (RCDP or PSD) teaching the same objectiAEM education and traininge10702https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8637872biostudies-literatureRapid-cycle deliberate practice improves time to defibrillation and reduces workload: A randomized controlled trial of simulation-based education.PMC8637872Lemke DSCamp EAYoung ALRus MCWon SKVillareal NNDoughty CfalseRapid-cycle deliberate practice improves time to defibrillation and reduces workload: A randomized controlled trial of simulation-based education.<h4>Background</h4>The optimal structure of simulation to train teams to perform pediatric advanced life support (PALS) requires further research.
