TL;DR
The pediatric mock trauma code educational initiative improved residents' self-reported confidence, knowledge, and comfort level in managing pediatric trauma and raised residents' awareness of knowledge gaps.
Abstract
The pediatric mock trauma code educational initiative improved residents' self-reported confidence, knowledge, and comfort level in managing pediatric trauma. The experience also raised residents' awareness of knowledge gaps. We were unable to measure a significant change in team functioning post intervention.
