Medical Students' Simlympic Games 2014 : The first team-based clinical skills competition event in Japan

シミュレーション教育への理解と普及をはかり, 医学生の臨床能力の客観的評価システムを全国の医学部教員が連携して確立することを目的として, 第46回日本医学教育学会大会の開催翌日に, 医学生イベントとして, シムリンピック2014を開催した. 全国公募した12チーム36名の医学部5, 6年生が参加し, シミュレータや模擬患者を活用した6つのステーション課題に挑戦した. 各課題の構成, 難易度, 妥当性を臨床研修医の協力で検証し, 実行委員会でブラッシュアップした. 企画の構想, 実行委員会組織, 開催準備, 当日の概要, 参加者アンケート結果に考察を加えて報告する.
To encourage the broad use of simulation-based medical education and establish partnerships to promote objective structured clinical examinations after clinical clerkship among medical teachers, we hosted the first team-based clinical skills competition event for medical students in Japan, named ‘Medical Students' Simlympic Games 2014'. Thirty-six (12 teams of three) open-recruited 5th or 6th grade medical students participated in this event. Student teams performed clinical tasks at 6 stations, which actively utilized the strengths of simulators or simulated patients. Contents, composition, difficulty level, and validity were tested by trainee doctors and examined by committee members in advance. In this report, we describe our concept, executive committee formation, a variety of arrangements, the outline on the day of the event, and the results of a questionnaire targeting participants.
