Live Sims for First Responder Training
Medical and emergency response teams are required to quickly comprehend a complex array of factors including time, information for situational awareness, coordination of team/individual actions, as well as manage physiological stress, any of which can impair performance in high stakes situations.
Serious medical errors are more likely to occur, particularly at points of transitions between teams and team members
Simulations viewed as a strategy to support team-learning without harming patients
Simulations offer participants an opportunity to both practice and reflect together
Learning in team-based simulations is constrained to post-simulation reflection, thus limiting a more comprehensive understanding of team-performance and learning
