About the research
The goal of this study is to learn whether simulation training with an ambient artificial-intelligence (AI) coach improves how physicians lead trauma resuscitations. The main question it aims to answer is:
\- After coach-assisted training, do participants lead simulated trauma resuscitations without the coach better than they did before training?
Researchers will compare each participant's performance on cases led without the coach before and after training.
Participants will:
- Lead simulated trauma resuscitations by voice in a trauma-bay simulator
- Lead cases without the coach, then training cases with the coach, then further cases without the coach
- Complete short surveys
Blinded attending physicians score each case from a recording.
Read the full description
Participants lead simulated trauma resuscitations by voice as the trauma team leader. A computer simulation plays the patient and the trauma-bay team. The ambient AI coach listens to the simulated bay and shows decision-support cards on a dashboard; it does not speak or change the simulation. Performance on cases led without the coach is scored by blinded attending physicians.
Who may be able to participate?
The list below is the sponsor’s full registry wording. It can include conditions, prior treatment, test results and other requirements. A match in search does not mean you qualify.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Resident physician in postgraduate year 1 or 2
- Has never led a trauma resuscitation as team leader
- Provides electronic informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
\- Has previously led a trauma resuscitation as team leader

The registry may describe treatments and study duration without a complete visit calendar. Ask the study team for the exact schedule, procedures, risks, costs and alternatives. Keep your usual care plan unless your treating clinician tells you otherwise.

Coach-assisted training
Participants lead simulated trauma cases without the coach (baseline), training cases with the AI coach visible, and further cases without the coach (post-training).
Behavioral: Coach-assisted simulation training
Coach-assisted simulation training BEHAVIORAL
Simulated trauma resuscitations led by voice with an ambient AI coach that shows real-time decision-support cards on a dashboard.
What researchers are measuring
Outcome measures describe what is being studied. They are not proof that a treatment works.
Primary measures
Change in Unassisted Team-Leader Performance Score From Baseline to Post-Training
Time frame: Baseline and post-training (within 8 weeks of baseline)
Team-leader performance form with 4 items (critical actions and commands; prioritization and timeliness; diagnostic workup; leadership and communication), each scored from 1 to 5 by blinded attending reviewers; higher scores mean better performance. The per-case score is the mean of the 4 items. The outcome is the change in each participant's mean score from the baseline cases to the post-training cases.
Secondary measures
Mean Simulation Realism Score on a 4-Item Realism Form
Time frame: After each scored case, at baseline and post-training (within 8 weeks of baseline)
Simulation-realism form with 4 items (clinical trajectory; patient response and findings; team and environment; decision pressure and complexity), each scored from 1 to 5 (higher means more realistic), completed by participants and by attending reviewers.
Change in Self-Reported Preparedness Score on a 4-Item Confidence Form
Time frame: Before the first study case and after the last study case (within 8 weeks)
Preparedness form with 4 items, each rated from 1 (not at all confident) to 5 (very confident), completed by participants before the first study case and after the last; reported as the change from before to after.
