The Impact of Operation Bushmaster on Medical Student Decision-making in a High-Stress, Operational Environment.
INTRODUCTION: Operation Bushmaster is a high-fidelity military medical field practicum for fourth-year medical students at the Uniformed Services University. During Operation Bushmaster, students treat live-actor and mannequin-based simulated patients in wartime scenarios throughout the five-day practicum. This study explored the impact of participating in Operation Bushmaster on students\u27 decision-making in a high-stress, operational environment, a crucial aspect of their future role as military medical officers.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A panel of emergency medicine physician experts used a modified Delphi technique to develop a rubric to evaluate the participants\u27 decision-making abilities under stress. The participants\u27 decision-making was assessed before and after participating in either Operation Bushmaster (control group) or completing asynchronous coursework (experimental group). A paired-samples t-test was conducted to detect any differences between the means of the participants\u27 pre- and posttest scores. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Uniformed Services University #21-13079.
RESULTS: A significant difference was detected in the pre- and posttest scores of students who attended Operation Bushmaster (P \u3c .001), while there was no significant difference in the pre- and posttest scores of students who completed online, asynchronous coursework (P = .554).
CONCLUSION: Participating in Operation Bushmaster significantly improved the control group participants\u27 medical decision-making under stress. The results of this study confirm the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation-based education for teaching decision-making skills to military medical students
