Abbreviations:

(#) Participants: (number studied); MS = medical student; PG = postgraduate physician trainee (resident); MD = practicing physician; EMT = Emergency Medical Technician; RN = Nurse (at any level);O = other health professional.

Design: Pretest-posttest = 1 group pre-post study; non-randomized = non-randomized 2-group study; RCT = randomized 2-group study.

Topic : ACLS = Advanced Cardiac Life Support; ATLS = Advanced Trauma Life Support; CPR = (Basic) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; RR = Rapid Response; MC = Mass Casualty;

Comparison: Other = other (non-simulation) education; Sim-Sim = simulation-simulation comparison.

Instructional features: CV = clinical variation present; D = distributed over >1 day; FB = feedback high; E = environmental factors added.

Blinded: blinded assessment of highest-level outcome

Follow-up: High = ≥75% follow-up for any outcome

Outcomes reported: R = Reaction (satisfaction), K = knowledge, ST = time skill, SPc = process skill, SPd = product skill; BT = time behavior, BP = process behavior, P = patient effects.
