What Role Does Simulation Play in Pediatric Training?
Simulation-based training is increasingly utilized to enhance the clinical skills of pediatric trainees. This method involves realistic scenarios where trainees can practice:
Emergency response techniques in a controlled environment. Complex procedures such as intubation or lumbar puncture. Interpersonal skills, including breaking bad news to families.
Simulation helps in reducing errors, improving patient outcomes, and ensuring that clinicians are well-prepared for real-life situations.
