Communication and teamwork failures are the leading causes of errors in healthcare settings. In situ mock code simulations are a potential means to train team-based skills using simulation within real clinical care environments where errors occur; however, debriefing discussions often focus on gaps in learners' clinical skills as opposed to team functioning. This study aims to determine whether learners who are pre-trained using just-in-time simulation regarding CPR quality and medication administration will exhibit improved performance with respect to these skills during in situ mock codes as well as improved team functioning.

Team-based non-technical skills
Measured using the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) scale
Time frame: Time Frame: All data will be collected during the one hour when participants engage in the in situ mock code simulation
CPR quality
Measured using the Zoll R series defibrillator (compressions per minute (cpm), depth in millimeters (mm), and compression fraction)
Time frame: Time Frame: All data will be collected during the one hour when participants engage in the in situ mock code simulation
