Use of Stress Inoculation Training in Medical Education

The purpose of this research study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of SIT in teaching medical students to perform in high-fidelity simulation settings similar to those they may experience in their practice.

This is a study examining stress inoculation training and its potential role in medical education. The medical field exposes students and providers to various stressful situations each and every day. Various organizations including military organizations have introduced concepts of stress inoculation training (SIT) to help learners manage these situations to produce optimal performance.
