This night, 2 young doctors, 1 nurse and their senior doctor participated in this simulation.
I gave just one scenario of a severe community acquired pneumonia patient that has several teaching points.
It took about 50 min for them to complete the scenario and then I did about one hour thorough debriefing.
After the scenario, these young docs seemed to be overwhelmed by the severity of the patient and their lack of ability to manage this patient. One of them said “I’ve realized what I don’t know and what I should learn now.”
I believe this Sim has gotten them motivated and urged them to learn about emergency medicine more.
