TL;DR
There is a significant benefit associated with a focused, clinically based trauma management course for senior medical students and no additional improvement was noted with the use of a high fidelity computer-based trauma simulator.

In the structured clinical examination the variables and complexity of the examination are more easily controlled, its aims can be more clearly defined, and more of the student's knowledge can be tested.

Results indicated that reproducible assessment of the clinical skills could be achieved in approximately 1 day of testing time using standardized patients, and low correlations between standardized-patient-based measures of clinical skills and other evaluation techniques suggested that standardized patients provided unique information.

Content specificity seems to be a fundamental problem in assessing clinical problem solving ability with simulations, although further research is necessary to determine those characteristics of the simulation which result in effective transfer to the clinical setting.

Results indicate that most CBI studies do not adequately report data, but those studies that do, report large effect sizes and there is great overlap between the instructional components obtained from research on teaching and the components proposed by CBI experts.
