TL;DR
Results provide strong support for using serial simulation as a learning tool and students' perceptions of the simulation experience over a two-year period are explored.
Abstract
Serial simulations and having students experience simulations more than once in consecutive years is a valuable method of clinical instruction. When conducted well, simulations can lead to increased student satisfaction and self-confidence.
