Peer-assisted versus faculty staff-led skills laboratory training: a randomised controlled trial.
Medical education200964 influential citations<h4>Objectives</h4>Although peer-assisted learning (PAL) is widely employed throughout medical education, its effectiveness for training in technical procedures in skills laboratories has been subject to little systematic investigation. We…
Undergraduate technical skills training guided by student tutors--analysis of tutors' attitudes, tutees' acceptance and learning progress in an innovative teaching model.
BMC medical education2008n=12747 influential citations<h4>Background</h4>Skills labs provide a sheltered learning environment. As close supervision and individual feedback were proven to be important in ensuring effective skills training, we implemented a cross-year peer tutor system in our…
A systematic review of teamwork training interventions in medical student and resident education.
Journal of general internal medicine200846 influential citations<h4>Background</h4>Teamwork is important for improving care across transitions between providers and for increasing patient safety.<h4>Objective</h4>This review's objective was to assess the characteristics and efficacy of published…
Development and Evaluation of a Novel Curriculum for Whole Blood Transfusion by Paramedics in the Prehospital Environment.
The western journal of emergency medicine20253 influential citations<h4>Introduction</h4>Resuscitation with low-titer O+ whole blood improves the outcomes of patients with hemorrhagic shock. Recently, some emergency medical services (EMS) agencies have started to carry blood in the field. However, there…
The role of human factors in paramedics' clinical judgement - A modified Delphi study.
PloS one20252 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>In emergency medical services (EMS), work environments and circumstances are variable and make clinical judgement challenging. Little is known about the human factors that can affect paramedics' clinical judgement in…
Emergency Medical Services Clinician Accuracy Using the Pediatric Observation Priority Score.
Pediatric emergency care2025n=501 influential citations<h4>Objectives</h4>One barrier to including low-acuity children in alternative EMS disposition programs is a lack of triage tools to identify children at low risk of deterioration. The Pediatric Observation Priority Score (POPS) is a…
Effectiveness of a simulation-based point-of-care ultrasound course for prehospital providers - a single group quasi-experimental study.
BMC medical education20251 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>Emergency medical service (EMS) professionals are increasingly using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into the prehospital management and triage of critically ill patients. However, few institutions offer organized POCUS…
Tools, Coaching, and Community to Support Interprofessional Emergency Transfer Drills: Results from a National Action Collaborative Focused on Birth Center to Hospital Transfer.
Journal of midwifery & women's health2025n=1401 influential citations<h4>Introduction</h4>Freestanding birth centers (FSBCs) play a critical role in expanding access to midwifery-led care, yet ensuring safe, efficient emergency transfers to hospitals remains a challenge. Effective transfers require strong…
Virtual Reality Simulation for Assessment of Hemorrhage Control and SALT Triage Performance: A Comparison of Prehospital to In-Hospital Emergency Responders.
Prehospital and disaster medicine2025n=2821 influential citations<h4>Introduction</h4>Targeted identification, effective triage, and rapid hemorrhage control are essential for optimal outcomes of mass-casualty incidents (MCIs). An important aspect of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) care is field triage,…
Current and Future Applications of AI in EMS Training: A Scoping Review.
Cureus20251 influential citationsOver the last 15 years, AI has been increasingly utilized in healthcare education. In EMS, AI is being used to train providers for their high-stress, dynamic environments. This scoping review examines current and future applications of AI…
