For oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) senior house officers (SHOs) with no formal medical training, the first exposure to emergency scenarios will be the first time they have to manage them, usually alone. Simulation-based education (SBE) has been demonstrated to increase experience and confidence when used in medical education, so an OMFS SBE course was created to facilitate this. The course was centred on scenarios that necessitate a rapid response, including sepsis, retrobulbar haemorrhage, and carotid artery blowout. A questionnaire with a 10-point numerical score was given to assess the change in confidence when managing these scenarios. Learner numbers were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but all 10 completed both questionnaires. There was an even distribution between first and second-year SHOs. Two had received simulation training before, but it was very limited. In all stations every learner felt an increase in confidence, on average by 45% (range 38%-56%, p<0.05) on the 10-point scale. Positive feedback was also given by them all. SBE has been shown to be an invaluable method of training for clinical scenarios and needs to become common in OMFS. The course is to be expanded post COVID-19 to become available nationally.

Background/aims: Ophthalmology is an under-represented specialty in many medical school curriculums resulting in reduced confidence in medical students and clinicians when dealing with eye conditions. Our study evaluates the impact of a simulation-based education (SBE) workshop to train medical students in ophthalmology.
Methods: Second-year medical students were invited to participate in a two-day (eight-hour) simulation-based ophthalmology workshop.

Aims: Crises in the operating room, often resulting from human factors, endangers patient safety. Simulation-based training to develop non-technical skills shows promise in managing these crises. This review examines the simulation techniques, targeted healthcare professionals, non-technical skills, crisis scenarios, and evaluation metrics used in operating room crisis management training.

Background: One of the best ways to impart important skills to trainees is through simulation-based training, which is more reliable than the conventional clinical examination method. It is used in pediatric nursing training to allow nurses to practice and improve their clinical and conversational skills during an actual child encounter. A heel-prick is a complex psychomotor task that requires skill and knowledge from the pediatric nurse performing the procedure while applying for the National Newborn Screening Program.

Background/problems: Individuals with comorbid physical and mental health conditions face significant threats to their well-being while placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems through increased service costs. Nursing professionals encounter multiple challenges in delivering effective care to this population. These challenges include a lack of integrated care models, communication barriers among providers, the complexity of addressing dual health needs, insufficient training in comorbidity management, resource and time constraints, and pervasive stigma toward mental illness.

The authors evaluated the effectiveness of interprofessional, simulation-based DEI training in improving clinicians' awareness, attitudes, and abilities regarding bias, racism, inclusion, microaggressions, and equity in the workforce.
Method: From October 2021 to June 2022, interprofessional clinicians at Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC, completed the Interprofessional Debrief on Racism, Equity, and Microaggressions (I-DREAM) training.
