TL;DR
A one-day, simulation-based pediatric EM curriculum produced limited results, and focused, frequent, and effortful instructional interventions are necessary to achieve substantial performance improvements.
Abstract
A one-day, simulation-based pediatric EM curriculum produced limited results. The evaluation approach is reasonable and reproducible for the population studied. Instructional dose strength and factors may have limited curriculum effectiveness. Focused, frequent, and effortful instructional interventions are necessary to achieve substantial performance improvements.

2,945 Citations2004K. Anders Ericsson
This article proposes an alternative framework to account for individual differences in attained professional development, as well as many aspects of age-related decline, based on the assumption that acquisition of expert performance requires engagement in deliberate practice and that continued deliberate practice is necessary for maintenance of many types of professional performance.

46 Citations2003Earl McKinney, Kevin J. Davis
This study examined the impact of deliberate practice on pilot decision making in once-in-a-career crisis decision scenarios and found that deliberate practice significantly improves decision-making performance for wholly practiced crises but does not improve decision- making performance when the specific malfunction has not been practiced.
