Integration and Outcomes of a Hybrid Simulation for Simple Laceration Suturing

Context Emergency and immediate care skills are often difficult to practice in real time during clinical education. One skill requiring advanced training that may not be implemented education is wound closure via suturing. Simple laceration management with sutures can advantageous for athletic students learn practice; however, deliberate feedback a realistic manner necessitated. Objective To describe the use of hybrid simulation suturing professional postprofessional programs. Background The emergency predominately classroom based removes patient experience. Simulation-based learning has provided educators an opportunity simulators standardized patients fill gap. Description incorporates live actor attached part-task–training simulated arm safe manner. Clinical Advantage(s) Incorporating encounter requires multitasking delivery patient-centered promotes proper execution while receiving questions direct from patient. Conclusion(s) Suturing should taught assessed tiered format using part-task trainers such as pig skin artificial pads. After development, summative assessment allows educator evaluate learners' interpersonal communication technical
