Excerpt
Simulations (using standardized patients, manikins, or a combination) can be used effectively with medical undergraduates as an alternative to lecture (see Gordon 2002). This paper describes the development, implementation, and outcomes using each of these simulation modalities in a 1-day orientation to prepare 30 3rd year medical students for 9-month clinical rotations in rural communities. Since so many of these students will work in under-resourced areas (and will, therefore, take a more active role in providing patient care), it was vital that the clinical content and the scenarios mirror the diversity of cases they are likely to encounter and assist students in evaluating and improving essential procedural skills.
