Title:Comparing Effectiveness of 3 Learning Strategies: Simulation-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and Standardized Patients
Citation: Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of The Society for Medical Simulation, 30 January 2012 Author: Smithburger, Pamela L.; Kane-Gill, Sandra L.; Ruby, Christine M.; Seybert, Amy L.
Abstract:High-fidelity simulation is an effective learning strategy. When it is compared with standardized patients and mPBL strategies, students performed better on knowledge-based quizzes and had higher levels of satisfaction.

Team training
Title: Determination of the psychometric properties of a behavioural marking system for obstetrical team training using high-fidelity simulation
Citation: BMJ Quality and Safety, January 2012, vol./is. 21/1(78-82), 2044-5415 (January 2012)Author(s): Morgan P.J., Tregunno D., Pittini R., Tarshis J., Regehr G., Desousa S., Kurrek M., Milne K.
Abstract: To determine the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation for team training, a valid and reliable tool is required. This study investigated the internal consistency, inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability of two newly developed tools to assess obstetrical team performance.
