	PEDS 5097 - Use of a Sim Env to Practice Pat Assement, Initial Mgmt, Common Proc Skills, and Patient Safety Prin (1 Credit Hour) For centuries, medical education has relied on the apprenticeship model of “see one, do one, teach one,” and the inexperienced trainee developed their skills while practicing on patients. In this model of training, trainees are inexperienced and lack confidence in resuscitation of sick patients and in basic procedures when they begin their internship. Performing resuscitation and procedures for the first time on real patients with the attendant is no longer acceptable to society or to the trainee as the risks and consequences for harm are too great. Simulation training represents a paradigm shift in medical education that allows for safe skill development. Supervising physicians and residency programs can now optimally prepare providers in a safe environment, away from the patient, before allowing them to perform a procedure on a patient. Students can learn from their mistakes through reflection, discussion, and repetition. Simulations may be created as needed, allowing for students to learn at their level and pace. Simulation learning may even decrease the duration of necessary training. This short course will help participants in understanding the role of simulation in understanding the inherent risks involved in management of a sick patient and possible remedies to improve patient safety.
