Abstract

Background: Simulation based teaching has evolved as a novel modality in post graduate curriculum. Safe immunization practices form one of the core competencies of paediatric post graduate education. The standard vaccination guidelines have been established by IAP-ACVIP and CDC-ACIP. By assessing the impact of simulation module on parenteral route of vaccine administration, we hope to improve the quality of immunization practice among future paediatricians ultimately leading to better healthcare.
Aim: To study the impact of Immunization simulation using Infant mannequins in paediatric post graduate training
Objective: Comparison of the knowledge and confidence in administration of vaccines by parenteral routes after the simulation based training module with baseline
