PY - 2014 T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e AB - Simulation provides a safe, risk-free, experiential learning environment where emergency department (ED) practitioners can hone their skills with no potential for adverse consequences to real patients.The acquisition and retention of skills requires hands-on practice complemented by feedback and robust assessments. However, external forces have significantly reduced the number of opportunities to practice procedures in the ED and tolerance for medical errors. Simulation can be used to provide these experiences “on-demand.”Effective simulation-based training interventions have a range of difficulty customized to the individual practitioner's skill level.Postgraduate medical education systems in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom have called for competency-based education with focused and rigorous evaluations. Mastery learning is a form of competency-based education in which training continues until the participant achieves a uniform level of skill mastery as measured by rigorous standards.The extended duration between performance of many pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) skills leads to deterioration in even the most expert providers. Just-in-time (JIT) training is a training scheme in which the required knowledge and skills are imparted for immediate application to avoid loss of retention due to a time gap.
