Summary:[...]we have begun a comprehensive integration of high-fidelity simulation into our core curriculum that includes both diagnostic and management components. [...]our simulation suite, with pre-loaded patient characteristics matching the patient seen in the simulated ED was employed allowing cardiology fellows to perform their first cardiac catheterization, coronary engagement, and PCI with no risk of adverse patient outcomes.
