Study population: The study population consists of medical trainees enrolled in the MEDI 045 anesthesia program at King Saud Medical City.

Participants will include individuals with varying levels of clinical experience who are eligible for simulation-based training.

Participants will be randomly selected from a list of eligible trainees in the MEDI 045 program.

Brief summary: This study explores the evolving landscape of operating room (OR) simulation by identifying key trends, addressing potential biases, and providing actionable recommendations for improvement. Using data-driven analysis, the research uncovers patterns in skill development and decision-making, offering insights into the effectiveness of current OR simulation programs. The study also tackles biases in data collection, including selection and response bias, ensuring the reliability of findings.

Detailed description: The effectiveness of simulation training is crucial in medical education, particularly for skills retention and perceived effectiveness. This section evaluates the overall effectiveness of SimMan3G sessions in enhancing clinical skills among participants.

Objectives

* To analyze the correlation between the number of SimMan3G sessions and skill retention.
* To assess the perceived effectiveness of simulation training.
* To provide actionable recommendations for improving simulation training effectiveness.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants enrolled in the MEDI 045 anesthesia program at King Saud Medical City.
* Medical students or trainees with prior exposure to basic clinical simulation.
* Aged 18 years or older.
* Willingness to participate in simulation-based training sessions.
* Ability to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants with prior advanced simulation training in anesthesia.
* Individuals with documented cognitive impairments or learning disabilities that may interfere with the study tasks.
* Refuse to participate in post-simulation assessments or follow-ups.
* Lack of fluency in the language of instruction used in the simulation.
