Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to determine if the stress response and performance of trainees who are observers in simulation training is similar to trainees who are actively participating in simulation training in the 'hotseat' during 3 consecutive simulation sessions.

We hypothesize that trainees experience less stress when they are observers in the first 2 simulation sessions. However, when they are placed in the 'hotseat' during the third session, their stress response, as well as their performance, will be similar to trainees who spend all 3 simulation sessions in the 'hotseat'.

Conditions

  • Stress

Interventions

OTHER

Observer

Trainees are in the role of observers (not actively participating in simulation scenario) during first 2 simulation sessions, then placed in the role in the 'hotseat' actively participating during the third simulation session.

OTHER

Hotseat

Trainees in the hotseat group are placed in the 'hotseat' to actively participate and manage the simulated medical crises in the simulation scenarios.
