SUMMARY: An interdepartmental intervention was im- plemented to determine how the addition of simulation training in local anesthesia to a clinical course could im- prove students' perception of knowledge, experience, confidence, preparedness and stress. The program was evaluated after a 3-years implementation (2013-2015). Group 1B of second-year students (2013) received simulation before and Group 1A received simulation after their clinical exercise. Both Groups completed a survey immediately post-simulation. Group 2 (2014-2015) students received simulation before clinical experience and completed the surveys both pre-and post- clinical experience. Students self-assessed their knowledge, experience and confidence concerning four local anesthesia competencies. Faculty members compared students’ clin- ical performance with those of students’ 4 years prior who had no simulation experience.
Students experiencing a combined simulation and clinical experience perceived themselves statistically significantly more knowledgeable, confident and experienced versus simulation experience only. There was no statistical dif- ference between the Group receiving simulation pre- and the Group receiving simulation post-clinical experience. Faculty perceptions of students’ clinical perform- ance showed mild improvement in all groups experiencing simulation.
KEY WORDS: simulation, dental education, local anesthe- sia, program evaluation, predoctoral education.
