A shift in Military utilization of Live Tissue Training (LTT) to Simulation-based training (SBT) for combat casualty care training programs is currently underway. While each has been reported to be effective, there is little high quality research comparing traditional LTT with SBT learning outcomes. This study entails the direct comparison of LTT and SBT in a randomized, pre-test post-test experiment. Changes in trainee knowledge, psychomotor skill, and selfefficacy are assessed using established measures. Stress and emotion are known to play a role in performance and learning. This study also investigated the use of sweat measurement as a possible indicator of a stressful response to the training situation.
