Purpose
The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of human simulation in the training of the leadership, cognitive, and psychomotor skills required to lead medical crisis management teams. All participants in the study are trainees in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Multi-Disciplinary Critical Care Training Program (MCCTP.) All trainees will have received the standard critical care medicine-training curriculum including basic airway management, management of hypotension, unstable cardiac arrhythmias, difficult airway management and crisis team training. The participants will have also completed six months of baseline clinical training, which includes responding to medical emergencies at UPMC.
The specific aims of this study are:
- To assess the effectiveness of Human Simulation Training (HST) as an educational tool for teaching medical crisis management.
- To determine the effect of HST on objective measures of performance in the domains of communication, leadership, cognition and psychomotor skills.
