Advances in Medical Education and Practice (09/26/26) Gooi, A.; Fung, K.; Nguyen, L.H.P.; et al.
Researchers developed Video-Assisted Simulation with Audience Response (VASAR), an educational approach that combines video scenarios, role-playing, team-based learning and audience response systems to provide some of the benefits of high-fidelity medical simulation while requiring fewer resources. Implemented at a specialty continuing medical education conference, the program was evaluated by 70 participants. Overall, 96% of the participants said VASAR was useful and 92% said it was realistic, while 96% and 92% respectively, viewed the video and audience response components as valuable. Additionally, 80% reported that the workshop would help them practice more safely. Compared with traditional high-fidelity simulation, VASAR showed no statistically significant differences in perceived usefulness, quality of debriefing feedback or likelihood of recommending the course to colleagues, suggesting that it may be an effective and efficient alternative for delivering interactive simulated clinical experiences in medical education.
