Association of the Number of a Simulation Faculty With the Implementation of Simulation-Based Education.
Although the implementation of simulation-based education (SBE) is essential for emergency medicine residency programs (EMRPs), little is known about the factors associated with its degree of SBE implementation in EMRPs. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate factors associated with SBE implementation in EMRPs. We hypothesized that the number of the simulation faculty was associated with the degree of SBE implementation. ⋯ To our knowledge, this is the first Japanese study to demonstrate that the number of the simulation faculty at a program is independently associated with a robust SBE implementation.
