Faculty development in medical simulation is a growing need, given the increased use of simulation-based learning in healthcare. Training of trainers is demanding and resource-consuming; therefore, there is a need for accessible, practical, and resource-saving solutions enabling efficient faculty development. For that purpose, we investigated whether a massive open online course (MOOC) could meet these challenges.

- The modified Mallampati classification is used to assess the risk of airway complications before surgery, but there may be inconsistencies in how it's evaluated, affecting its diagnostic accuracy.
- In a study involving adult patients, researchers compared the traditional modified Mallampati score with a newer "best visible" score to predict difficult intubations, finding that the best visible score had lower sensitivity but higher specificity.
- The results suggest that the best visible Mallampati score may misclassify many patients at risk for difficult intubation, highlighting the need for caution in using it as a predictor compared to the modified version.
Article Synopsis
- Simulation-based education in healthcare utilizes realistic clinical scenarios for effective learning, and the SoFraSimS has created guidelines to enhance scenario design for various simulation types.
- A literature review and expert input led to the identification of key criteria for creating effective simulation scenarios across modalities.
- The resulting templates consist of five sections that structure scenario context, learning objectives, preparation needs, simulation analysis, and post-simulation improvements to maximize educational outcomes.*
Study Objective: In a perioperative emergency, anesthesiologists must acknowledge the unfolding crisis promptly, call for timely assistance, and avert patient harm. We aimed to identify vital signs and qualitative factors prompting crisis acknowledgment and to compare responses between observers and participants in simulation.
Design: Prospective, simulation-based, observational study.
Background: Healthcare curricula need summative assessments relevant to and representative of clinical situations to best select and train learners. Simulation provides multiple benefits with a growing literature base proving its utility for training in a formative context. Advancing to the next step, "the use of simulation for summative assessment" requires rigorous and evidence-based development because any summative assessment is high stakes for participants, trainers, and programs.
