Low-fidelity hybrid sexual assault simulation training's effect on the comfort and competency of resident physicians.

Background: Alternative training methods are needed for resident physicians to ensure that care is not compromised should they practice in settings without well-established Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a simulation-based sexual assault response course for resident physicians at an institution without an on-site SANE program.

Methods: Educational intervention study of 12 emergency medicine residents using a low-fidelity hybrid simulation model.
