Abstract
- Simulation-based learning is important for rare, high mortality cases, which are unlikely to be witnessed during clinical rotations but are likely to be encountered during future practice such as a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Neurology case simulations, especially those targeted at preclinical learners, are underrepresented in simulation pedagogy, and preclinical learners are underrepresented in a meta-analysis of the efficacy of simulation-based medical education. We designed a virtual simulation of subarachnoid hemorrhage for preclinical medical students, which can be implemented during restricted access to clinical learning. The simulation is 15 minutes long and requires only one standardized patient and one evaluator, which makes this simulation accessible to institutions with limited simulation resources. We adapted the validated questions from the "Simulation Evaluation Tool - Modified" for our post-simulation survey, which will detect the students' level of confidence and their perceived learning post-simulation. The analysis of student experiences using this validated tool will contribute to the literature base surrounding the efficacy of virtual simulation as a training tool for preclinical learners.
