The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical efficiency of a medication dosing software in simulated pediatric emergency care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be presented pediatric care scenarios and asked to calculate and prepare intravenous medications under two interventions: the medication dosage software and standard clinical practice (Lexicomp and manual calculator).

|---|---|---|---|
| Software, then Standard | Experimental | Participants will use the medication dosage software to calculate and prepare intravenous medications during the initial run through of pediatric case scenarios. Then, they will use standard clinical practice (Lexicomp and manual calculator) during the second run through of pediatric case scenarios. |
