Simulation is a wellestablished tool within medical education, but in situ simulation (occurring within the learner ’ s normal working environment) is less well investigated. This research team from Israel evaluated the impact of a combined intervention (simulation centrebased training and in situ simulated scenarios) on an emergency department team ’ s management of trauma cases. They showed that simulation (including in situ training) improved a number of facets of patient management; the greatest gains identifi ed were in behavioural domains such as teamwork and communication.
