Development, implementation, and evaluation of a flagship simulation-based capstone course for graduating medical students in the Middle East
Our study highlights systematic implementation strategies, potential challenges, sustainability concerns, and future recommendations of a flagship capstone course, including the development of residency-specific training options. The high satisfaction rates and documented enhancement in all competency domains of the capstone course affirm its role in bridging gaps in medical education.
