Brief Summary:
The investigators will use a multi-methods approach including both qualitative and quantitative methods In the quantitative methodology the investigators will use a before and after approach to compare medical student gradesscores before and after the integration of Simulation based learning SBL in the curriculum The hypothesis is that SBL will generally increase knowledge and skills and hence improve the scores from the theory MCQ and clinical OSCE examinations conducted outside simulated settings in the clinical departments
Detailed Description:
Simulation faculty development will be measured by retention and engagement in simulation sessions The investigators will use survival analysis methods and plot Kaplan Meier curves to calculate probability of retention and determine the factors that are associated with retention as derived from participant in-depth interviews and departmental meetings A faculty member will be considered disengaged if they do not participate in simulation session for at least 6 months post training despite reminders and opportunities for participation Reasons for potential disengagement will be explored qualitatively
In the qualitative approach the investigators will conduct in-depth key informant interviews 45 minutes to 1 hour with administrators at the institution namely Academic Registrar Deans of Medical School heads of Departments and Simulation facilitators the post-graduate student trainers The investigators will conduct focus group discussions 1 hour with postgraduate simulation facilitators the medical and nursing students before during and after their enrollment in SBL The interviews and focus group discussions will be audio-recorded and transcribed
