Simulation‐based training significantly improved confidence and clinical skills of resident doctors in acute diabetes management
Authors' conclusion
The model identified the need for targeted education on physical examination, investigations and management specific to acute diabetes scenarios. Simulation-based education significantly enhances confidence and is perceived as highly relevant for training in acute diabetes management.
