Summary

In Uganda and many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, health providers have minimal training and intermittent opportunity to maintain skills in managing delivery complications and acute newborn and pediatric conditions. Interventions like effective resuscitation assistance at the time of birth are lifesaving. Every 30 second delay in establishing effective resuscitation at birth increases the risk of death by 16%. The purpose of this study is to test whether medical simulation can improve acute care skills and confidence related to maternal and pediatric care emergencies.

Conditions

  • Maternal, Pediatric Care Emergencies

Interventions

OTHER

Medical simulation using scenario execution

Each team of students will be exposed to simulation two times in a semester totaling to four times a year. In a scenario execution, participants are placed in a simulated experience of a medical emergency. Participants are required to respond and their reactions are observed by the investigators. After the experience, participants will have a debriefing session to learn from their experience of handling this emergency.
