This has been described in the learn, see, practice, prove, do, maintain framework. However, external forces and intolerance for medical errors, have significantly reduced the number of opportunities to practice procedures in the ED. Simulation can be used to provide these experiences “on-demand” and guide decisions about when a provider can be entrusted to safely perform a procedure on a patient.Effective simulation-based training interventions have a range of difficulty customized to the individual practitioner’s skill level.Postgraduate medical education systems are combining competency-based educational frameworks involving focused and rigorous evaluations to entrustable professional activity (EPA) frameworks that involve global assessments of performance.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.
