description | Introduction Guiding patients and their families through threat and tragedy is an essential skill for physicians. Educational opportunities to acquire this crucial expertise during medical training are limited. We describe a workshop design employing simulation and team-based reflection to enhance pediatric residents' confidence in delivering life-altering news. Methods Three hundred and seventy-six pediatric residents participated in an annual 2.75-hour workshop from 2011 to 2018. For each session, 24 to 28 residents were randomly assigned to learning teams of 6-7 trainees and two faculty. Each team had four different simulated parent encounters to convey life-altering news. Briefing and debriefing of encounters utilized team-based reflection. The impact of this educational intervention was evaluated using retrospective pre-post self-report questionnaires. Results Participants indicated that the learning experience was realistic, useful, and was provided in a safe learning environment. Residents reported increased confidence in their ability to communicate various types of life-altering news. A one-year follow-up survey indicated most respondents found the experience useful in actual practice subsequent to the workshop. The design also appears to be an efficient use of resources. Conclusion A workshop combining team-based reflection and simulation improves the confidence of pediatric residents in communicating life-altering news. |
