TL;DR
Use of a patient simulator to introduce trauma assessment training is feasible and compares favorably to training in a moulage setting.
Abstract
Use of a patient simulator to introduce trauma assessment training is feasible and compares favorably to training in a moulage setting. Continued research in this area of physician education is warranted.
