Objective

Background BACKGROUND: Using a Hi-Fidelity Mannequin for simulation of SE ensures no harm to the real patients but definitely help improving the skills of the trainees which we wanted to show with our two year data collection and analysis.

Design/Methods DESIGN/METHODS: 137 Medical Students in the Neurology clerkship participated in AY 2011 and 2012. Phase 1: Self reading of an Article on SE. Phase 2: Students worked in groups of 3-4 for the management a 35 yr old continuously seizing patient for 3 hrs. Phase 3: Post-Simulation questionnaire and Debriefing by clerkship director along with a survey for feedback.

Results RESULTS: The students performed remarkably well with scoring above 90% in management of SE. About 95% of the students agreed that the simulation will help manage real life patients better; also this way of learning appeared better than the regular didactic session and they will remember the management protocol better.

Conclusions CONCLUSIONS: Hi-fidelity Mannequin simulation enables students to learn, practice, and repeat simulations for complex medical problems as often as necessary in order to correct mistakes, fine-tune skills, and optimize clinical outcomes without jeopardizing patient safety. This way of learning will eventually improve patient care.
