Introduction Although simulation-based training is increasingly used for medical education, its benefits in continuing medical education (CME) are less established. This study seeks to evaluate the feasibility of incorporating simulation-based training into a CME conference and compare its effectiveness with the traditional workshop in improving knowledge and self-reported confidence. Methods P...

In this introduction, we begin by defining "distributed after action review (AAR) for simulation-based training" and deriving a few implications from the definition. We then touch on several issues that seem general across distributed AARs for simulation-based training, although we note that the diversity of such training means that exceptions might well be found. Finally, we briefly outline th...
