Abstract/Short Description

Background:

• Cardiac arrests require critical thinking and leadership skills
• Two simulation models—medical student and resident—were designed to enhance training for cardiac arrest
• Medical students focused on the individual resuscitation components
• Residents focused on team-related tasks

• Enhance the understanding of team roles and dynamics for medical students
• Improve residents’ performance of components of a cardiac arrest simulation
