Background: Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) has gained prominence in recent years as an innovative teaching method in simulation-based training for adult and pediatric emergency medical skills. However, its application in the training of forceps delivery skills among obstetrics and gynecology residents remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the impact of RCDP in this domain.
Methods: Conducted in March 2021, this randomized controlled study involved 60 second-year obstetrics and gynecology residents undergoing standardized training. Participants were randomly assigned to the RCDP group or the traditional teaching method (TTM) group, each comprising 30 residents. The RCDP group followed the RCDP practice mode, while the TTM group adhered to conventional simulation teaching. Post-training assessment of operational proficiency was conducted immediately and after one year. Independent operational confidence and training satisfaction were evaluated through questionnaire surveys and the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience (SSE) scale. Data analysis utilized SPSS 23.0.
Results: The RCDP group displayed significantly higher immediate post-training forceps operation scores compared to the TTM group (92.00 [range: 90.00-94.00] vs. 88.00 [range: 86.75-92.00]; = 3.79; < .001). However, no significant difference emerged in forceps operation scores after one year (86.00 [range: 85.00-88.00] vs. 85.50 [range: 84.00-88.25]; = 0.54; = .59). The RCDP group exhibited notable performance improvement over the TTM group ( = 3.49; < .001). Independent operation confidence showed no significant discrepancy ( > .05). Importantly, the RCDP group reported higher satisfaction scores, particularly in the Debriefing and Reflection subscale (44.00 [range: 43.00-45.00] vs. 41.00 [range: 41.50-43.00]; = 5.24; < .001), contributing to an overall superior SSE score ( = 4.74; < .001).
Conclusions: RCDP exhibits immediate efficacy in elevating forceps delivery skills among residents. However, sustained skill enhancement necessitates innovative approaches, while RCDP's value lies in tailored feedback and reflection for enriched medical education.

Debriefer cognitive load during Traditional Reflective Debriefing vs. Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice interdisciplinary team training.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the cognitive load of debriefers during two different simulation-based debriefing methods: Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) and Traditional Reflective Debriefing (TRD).
- The research involved 164 learners at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where cognitive load was measured using the NASA Task Load Index (TLX) before and after debriefing sessions.
- Results showed that RCDP debriefing led to lower cognitive load (in terms of time demands and frustration) and higher perceived success compared to TRD, indicating RCDP may be a more effective debriefing approach.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) compared to traditional instruction or other forms of learning on resuscitation training outcomes and on clinical and/or patient-related outcomes.
Methods: As part of the continuous evidence evaluation process of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation it was conducted this review and searched Medline, Embase and Cochrane from inception to Feb 12th, 2024. Risk of bias assessment was performed with the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions assessment tool and the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials.

Streamflow time series data typically exhibit nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics that complicate precise estimation. Recently, multifactorial machine learning (ML) models have been developed to enhance the performance of streamflow predictions. However, the lack of interpretability within these ML models raises concerns about their inner workings and reliability.
