Randomized Controlled Trial
Training on a new, portable, simple simulator transfers to performance of complex bronchoscopy procedures.
Virtual-reality (VR) simulation provides a safe and effective learning environment prior to practicing on patients. However, existing bronchoscopy simulators are expensive and not easily portable. ⋯ The effect of a brief, self-directed training session using a portable, simple simulator was substantial and transferred to performance of more complex skills.
