Our institution has established priorities for graduate medical education (GME) simulation which include increasing adoption of, garnering additional financial support for, and creating a core simulation curriculum. Better understanding of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) simulation requirements will inform our efforts and serve as a guide for other institutions. The purpose of this study was to perform a structured review of ACGME simulation standards using a document analysis to guide GME simulation activities at an institutional level.

Faculty of Medicine, Department of General and Digestive Surgery, Habib Bourguiba Hospital, University of Sfax, Sfax, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the fertility of daughter cysts (DC) from hepatic echinococcal cysts to understand their origin, amidst ongoing debates about their developmental potential.
- A total of 248 DC from 27 cysts in 21 patients were analyzed, revealing a fertility rate of 64.5%, with specific factors such as cyst size, DC size, and WHO classification type CE2 significantly influencing fertility.
- The results indicate most DC were fertile, and the absence of hooks in infertile DC challenges existing theories about their formation.
Viability predictive factors of the daughter vesicles in hepatic cystic echinococcosis.

Faculty of Medicine, Department of General and Digestive Surgery, University of Sfax, Habib Bourguiba Hospital, Sfax, 3029, Tunisia.
Introduction: Management of cystic echinococcosis (CE) requires knowledge of certain aspects related to the survival of Echinococcus granulosus. The viability of daughter vesicles (DV) is a determining factor in guiding therapeutic indications, particularly for transiently active Cysts type CE3b.
Purpose: To determine the predictive factors of DV viability and its impact on the therapeutic management of CE3b type.

Nursing students have limited opportunities to build team leader skills during their clinical experiences, leaving a practice gap. Senior nursing students participated in a competency-based education unit and a simulation-based learning experience incorporating team leader skills. Presurvey and postsurvey data were collected using the Self-Confidence and Comfort with Utilizing a Standardized Handoff Communication Tool.

Virtual reality (VR) could enable clinical simulation centers to reach the teaching capacity of traditional hospital practica. This study quantitatively tests VR telepresence against two traditional simulation learning methods using a within-subject design and the Presence Questionnaire. Eight nursing students were randomly assigned and rotated through simulation participation, VR observation, and television observation conditions, completing a questionnaire after each condition.

Author Affiliations: Assistant Professor (Dr Foster), University of Massachusetts Dartmouth; Director (Dr Gilbert), Central California Center for Excellence in Nursing, College of Health and Human Services, California State University, Fresno; Clinical Associate Professor (Dr Hanson), University of North Dakota, Grand Forks; Simulation Center Director/Assistant Professor (Dr Whitcomb), Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Abilene; and Clinical Assistant Professor/Interim Director (Dr Graham), Clinical Simulation Laboratory, University of South Carolina, Columbia.
Background: While use of simulation to improve teamwork skills has been established in a variety of clinical settings, it is unclear how teamwork skills of nursing students are developed using simulation.
Purpose: The purpose of this review was to synthesize literature on how simulation is used to teach teamwork skills to prelicensure nursing students.
Methods: The integrative review of the literature was conducted using the Whittemore and Knafl 5-stage methodology and the TeamSTEPPS framework.
