Using Simulation Education With Deliberate Practice to Teach Leadership and Resource Management Skills to Senior Resident Code Leaders.

Background: Cardiopulmonary arrests are rare, high-stakes events that benefit from using crisis resource management (CRM). Simulation-based education with deliberate practice can promote skill acquisition.

Objective: We assessed whether using simulation-based education to teach CRM would lead to improved performance, compared to a lecture format.

Simulation-based education with deliberate practice may improve intraoperative handoff skills: a pilot study.

Study Objective: To examine the results of simulation-based education with deliberate practice on the acquisition of handoff skills by studying resident intraoperative handoff communication performances.

Design: Preinvention and postintervention pilot study.

Setting: Simulated operating room of a university-affiliated hospital.
