SIMplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication: UME Lessons from Trauma-Focused Simulation
No full textPurpose: Simulation-based training has become essential in preparing medical professionals to manage high-stakes situations effectively before encountering them in real-life clinical settings. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Cut Suit Week (CSW), a high-stress, trauma-focused simulation training for second-year military medical students hosted by Rocky Vista College of Osteopathic Medicine in San Diego, California. As members of the 2024 cohort, our team from Touro University Nevada (TUN) and Touro University California (TUC) sought to address three questions: (1) Does CSW improve confidence in managing stressful situations? (2) Does it enhance clinical and leadership skills? (3) Would similar training benefit the broader student body at TUN and TUC?
Methods: To address these questions, we completed reflective exercises and answered scaled questions assessing the training\u27s effectiveness. Participants rated their preparedness, confidence, and skill development on a 1 to 5 scale and provided free-response reflections on their experiences. Results were analyzed for trends, and word clouds were generated from qualitative responses to highlight key themes.
Results: Our findings indicated overwhelmingly positive perceptions of CSW. Perceived preparedness for high-stress clinical situations increased from an average of 3.0 to 4.2, while clinical and leadership skill development was rated as “highly effective,” with an average score of 4.4. Confidence levels also showed marked improvement following the training. Free-response reflections identified descriptors like “realistic” and “invaluable,” underscoring the program\u27s impact.
Conclusions: CSW significantly enhanced participants’ confidence and preparedness for clinical training, aligning with Touro University’s commitment to advanced simulation education. These findings suggest that implementing a similar high-stress, trauma-focused simulation training at TUN and TUC would benefit both military and non-military students. More broadly, such training could be a valuable addition to medical education programs across disciplines to better prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals
Can We Eliminate the Negative Consequences of Circadian Desynchronization Caused by Night Shift Work by using a Light Therapy Lamp to Simulate a Sunset?
Full text linkThis poster aims to understand the relationship between desynchronosis of circadian rhythms and night-shift work and how light therapy can mitigate some of the issues of desynchronosis. This study seeks to develop therapies for disrupted circadian rhythms from night-ship works
