Pediatric Simulation Training to PICU trainees in India – Are we there yet? Dr Sujatha Thyagarajan, Dr Rakshay Shetty
Disclosures • None
Background • Pediatric Simulation is a well established method of curriculum-based training in Pediatric intensive care. • We do not have much information of such methods employed in India for PICU trainees.
Introduction • To survey the availability and acceptability of Pediatric simulation training for PICU trainees in PICU recognised training institutions in India.
Methods • A web-based questionnaire was created on survey-monkey • Questionnaire was circulated via email to all the PICU Leads of training institutions in India 5
Results • 20 institutions in India are recognised Fellowship training in PICU. 6
Results • 9 (45%) completed the survey • 3.1 trainees per institution • 3.1 teaching faculty staff per institution
Results • 10% (3/28) of teaching faculty have exposure to Pediatric simulation 8
Results • 2 institutions have some arrangements for Pedisim facilties • 89% of respondents feel the need for introducing Simulation based training to PICU trainees 9
Limitations • Response rates <50% are represented 10
Conclusions Is Pediatric simulation an acceptable method of training the PICU trainees? There is an overwhelming felt need for inculcating Simulation based training in PICU Fellowship training 11
Conclusions Is it available? • Lack of facilities in majority of the institutions • Lack of exposure to Pediatric Simulation of teaching faculty and paucity of trainers are an added challenge 12
Two questions for group Is this a similar scenario at your PICU training facility in your country? Can IPSS helps us in establishing training workshops in India?
