The importance of product training

I’ve noticed that effective product training really makes a difference in how healthcare staff respond to medical devices. Last week, I demonstrated our new monitoring tool to a group of nurses, and their hands-on practice helped them feel more confident using it during shifts. I’m curious how others approach training; do you think it’s mostly about hands-on experience, or is there an element of theory that’s equally valuable?
