Military Health Care Team Cohesion and Performance During Simulation Training.

Introduction: Military health care team cohesion has been linked to improved performance during simulation training. However, there is a gap in current research regarding the processes by which teams become cohesive within simulation training. The purpose of this study was to explore how health care teams evolve during high-fidelity simulation training and the ways in which team cohesion impacts their performance.

Operation Bushmaster's Impact on Military Medical Student Deployment Readiness.

Introduction: Operation Bushmaster is a high-fidelity simulation held for fourth-year medical students at the Uniformed Services University. No past research has examined this multi-day simulation's ability to prepare military medical students for the complexities of their first deployment. This qualitative study, therefore, explored Operation Bushmaster's impact on military medical student deployment readiness.
