Interprofessional Simulation to Deliver Stroke Management and TeamSTEPPS® Content

Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is an established tool for training providers for critical situations. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS®) is a program developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Department of Defense to improve teamwork. Previous work has demonstrated the effectiveness of SBME in stroke team performance among neurology residents and ICU nurses.1 Our objective was to develop a simulation–based interprofessional education (IPE) program for nursing and medical students on stroke team performance.
