Debriefing after clinical scenario-based simulation is a well-established practice that provides learners a defined structure to review and improve performance. Our objective was to integrate formal learning goal generation, using the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound), into standard debriefing processes (i.e., ˇ°SMART Goal Enhanced Debriefingˇ±) and subsequently measure the impact on the development of learning goals and execution of educational actions %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785177/
