Identifying technical skills and clinical procedures for simulation-based training in emergency medicine: A nationwide needs assessment

[...]training allows physicians to practice technical skills in a safe environment and the efficacy of simulation-based training is well established in terms of improved patient safety and clinical outcomes [4-6,8-13]. In the present study, 69 key opinion leaders achieved a final prioritized list of 29 technical skills and clinical procedures that should be included in simulation-based training curricula of EM. [...]the findings of the present study are well aligned with previous research on simulation-based training [23-26]. [...]a large number of technical skills (n = 128) were suggested by the participants in the first round.
