Cardiac Auscultation Lab Using a Heart Sounds Auscultation Simulation Manikin
Introduction Cardiac auscultation skills are essential to the development of a competent physician. We created a hypothesis-driven cardiac auscultation laboratory session utilizing a high-fidelity simulator to teach these skills to second-year medical students at our institution.

We created a hypothesis-driven cardiac auscultation laboratory session utilizing a high-fidelity simulator to teach these skills to second-year medical students at our institution. This program was grounded in deliberate practice opportunities to aid in the acquisition of cardiac auscultation skills. Methods This session aimed to help students identify and discriminate between normal and pathologic heart sounds in the context of a clinical vignette. Faculty facilitators guided students through unknown patient cases and utilized the auscultation manikin to simulate corresponding heart sounds. Time was also allotted for students to auscultate the manikins and practice their cardiac physical examination skills. Results This program has been in place at our institution since 2016 and has been well received by students and facilitators. Since its initial introduction in 2016, 183 second-year medical students have completed the cardiac auscultation lab session each year, for a total of 549 students. Evaluations of the session have improved as faculty have become more familiar with the mechanics of operating the auscultation manikin. Discussion The cardiac exam and heart sounds lab can be adapted to any simulator model that is capable of producing heart sounds and can be done in a large- or small-group format.
