About

This article discusses how checklists can help evaluate pediatric disaster training. Doctors in training used checklists during practice scenarios to manage emergency situations with children. The study found that using checklists gave quick feedback and helped trainees learn better in a safe setting. Teams often missed some actions, but the checklist showed what was needed and what was forgotten. This method helps doctors prepare for real disasters by practicing in a low-stress environment, making sure they know how to respond effectively when needed.
