Introduction References Methods - Model Goals Results Conclusions Methods - Session Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians are expected to successfully reduce priapism, paraphimosis and phimosis. These are rare procedures, as a result residents may have difficulty developing clinical competency. We hypothesize that simulation with realistic models will develop these skills and improve procedural comfort. No male genitourinary models are commercially available for these procedures. A few examples have been presented, which were reusable silicone cylinders with a central space for imitation blood. We further developed this concept in a number of ways to create a novel model used during a PGY-2 EM resident skills session.

Creating and using a novel procedure model during a simulation session improves EM residents’ comfort and competence. We found EM residents benefited from a realistic simulation model; they developed the procedural skills that can lead to clinical success. Batra S, et al.

Hartford Hospital. Hartford, CT Emergency Medicine physicians are expected to successfully reduce priapism, paraphimosis and phimosis. These are rare procedures, as a result residents may have difficulty developing clinical competency. We created a standardized novel male GU model as none are commercially available. It is low cost, reproducible and easily made from readily available items. These models were used in the PGY-2 skill session, with a pre and post survey containing both subjective and objective questions. EM residents’ comfort levels increased 2 points on the Likert scale. We found EM residents benefited from a realistic simulation model; they developed the procedural skills that can lead to clinical success.
