Medical emergency on board is a new phenomenon that lack of attention. Despite the
presence of cabin crew who is certified to provide medical care to the passenger, failure to
acquire the non-technical skills and low level of knowledge and technical skills retention is
reported to be major challenges in developing a highly competent cabin crew in providing
effective medical care. Having the ability to design simulations, implement it into teaching,
and effectively evaluate simulated performance is starting to become a key role for educators
in health care. For most educators, a practical knowledge and skills gap resides between
the need for simulation learning and proficiencies in designing and utilising simulation. The
purpose of this model was to develop a ‘trained educators’ from the aviation industry with
the knowledge and skills to utilise simulation effectively. The steps involve identification,
development, and integration with a follow-up assessment. The implementation of the program
yielded a significant improvement on the participants’ knowledge, t (129) = -6.27, p
< .001 together with a total DASH-SV score of 6.32. The barriers, including difficulties
encountered executing the model, are discussed combined with the implication for future application.
This model is an effective approach for developing a trained educator in first aid
for aviation incorporated with simulation learning. The trained educator will then become
a pioneer and train another organisation.
