Research Summary
Dr. Bruno's research interests include neonatal resuscitation, neonatal medical simulation, and procedural skills training.
Extensive Research Description
Dr. Bruno's research interests include neonatal resuscitation, neonatal medical simulation, and procedural skills training. More specifically, Dr. Bruno has studied adoption and retention of neonatal resuscitation skills and knowledge. In addition, she has studied neonatal medical simulation for training for cardiac resuscitations, procedural skills training, and telemedicine training for remote providers. In more recent work, she is studying how residency program directors are working to maximize achievement of pediatric resident procedural goals based on ACGME requirements.
