Prior research has identified knowledge gaps between the verbalization of procedures and performance in simulations. Against this background, we designed a procedural simulation conference to enhance our students' procedural skills development using instruction and deliberate practice. The conference had six procedure stations, each focusing on specific learning objectives. Sixty medical students and 20 instructors from University of Missouri-Kansas City's Emergency Medicine Interest Group participated. A majority rated the conference as helpful in enhancing students' procedural skills.
