Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Simulation in medicine is a powerful and effective teaching tool that has become essential for the training of students and health professionals.

In this context, simulation instructor training have been implemented in recent years, where many subjects are addressed, such as the main principles of pedagogy, the integration of simulation, the construction of a scenario, briefing and debriefing.

However, scenario facilitation, in particular the role of the embedded participant (EP), is only vaguely discussed. The EP of a high-fidelity simulation session plays a very important role in driving the scenario. Indeed, he/she guides the learner in order to achieve all the educational objectives set by the main instructor of the scenario. He/she also manages unexpected behavior and possible technical issues that may arise. Finally, the EP supervises the physical and psychological risks inherent in the simulation in order to maintain a safe environment.

All of these key roles suggest that the EP can influence the performance of the learners. Little is known about the relationship between Facilitation and Learner Performance.

In this observational study, investigators aim to explore the influence of the embedded participant on learners' technical and non-technical performances during high-fidelity simulation by analysing previously recorded sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this observational study, investigators aim to measure performance on high-fidelity simulation scenarios (HFS) used routinely in the current anesthesiology, training curriculum. Age, sex, previous experience of HFS will be noted. All data will be anonymized.

Two investigators will independently evaluate the performance of HFS by video record:

* technical performance on tables pre-established by experienced instructors and based on international recommendations,
* non-technical performances, assessed using the Ottawa Global Rating Scale.
