Simulation-based mastery learning for intrathecal baclofen pump management in physical medicine and rehabilitation: A pilot study.

Background: Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) has demonstrated superiority as a procedural learning method. Implementation of SBML in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) education has not been described and there is a paucity of literature regarding standardized procedural learning in this specialty.

Objective: To evaluate if implementation of intrathecal baclofen pump management SBML affects knowledge, attitudes, and skills in PM&R residents.
