Task and Procedural Skills Training

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Pediatrics

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation ((CHS))

Abstract

A suite of task trainers has been developed, specifically for pediatric use, for most of the procedures required to care for pediatric patients. They vary in their fidelity, usability, and durability. Availability of these task trainers is only the beginning of the procedural skills training puzzle. It is important to embed task trainers in well-developed curricula that include attention to evidence-based methodology and dissemination. The development of procedural competence has a rich literature base, which will also be reviewed in the chapter.
