Abstract

Medical simulations allow trainees to work as teams to practice real-world scenarios. Understanding is limited because literature is sparse on the role of leadership in how teams work together and effectively manage themselves. The research team studied eight 2nd year medical residents as they engaged in two crisis resource management (CRM) simulations within a high-fidelity simulation environment. Results suggest that effective leadership helped team members regulate their responses, resulting in: 1) fewer bottlenecks in decisions, and 2) better opportunities to “closing the loop” on difficult tasks. These results provide steps to advance the use of a group-regulation based framework for developing leadership skills in the context of medical team dynamics.
