Summary

Brief Summary: Trauma is a major public health burden; it is the fifth most common cause of mortality overall in the US and accounts for the majority of deaths in patients younger than 45. Trauma resuscitations present unique patient care challenges due to the need to perform complex tasks under uncertain and time-pressured conditions. It is not entirely surprising that one-third to one-half of trauma patient-related errors occurred in emergency departments during the initial resuscitation period. Effective team leadership can enhance teamwork and team adaptability, thus improving teams' ability to handle unexpected and rapidly changing situations. Simulation-based training provides a clinically relevant practice environment that has been recommended for team and team leader training.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of simulation-based leadership training on clinical teamwork, team leadership and patient care. The investigators hypothesize that team leadership training will improve team leadership, teamwork, and critical patient care events during actual trauma resuscitations.
