| Summary: | Objective: To develop a compact, simulation-based orientation session aimed at improving confidence and teamwork amongst new trainees.
Methods: Two cohorts of five fellows participated in the one-day boot camp. Confidence in team leading and neonatal procedures was assessed using a pre and post survey administered on the day of boot camp as well as a delayed post-test after 6 months. Teamwork and communication were assessed using the TEAM scale.
Results: We found that fellows confidence was significantly improved in 5 out of 6 categories (team leader in code (p
Conclusions: We demonstrated a significant improvement in confidence in first year neonatal-perinatal medicine fellows following a one-day simulation-based boot camp. The format for this boot camp could be emulated in institutions across the country to improve the confidence and skills of incoming fellows.
