Study Summary

This trial will test which way of teaching medical students (lecture before simulation or simulation before lecture) is more effective for knowledge and performance retention.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for second-year medical students at the University of British Columbia. There are no specific exclusion criteria, so all such students can participate to see how different teaching orders affect their learning.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether doing a simulation before a lecture or vice versa leads to better knowledge and skill retention in pediatric status epilepticus. Students will be randomly placed into groups with reversed orders of simulation and lectures.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational methods rather than medical treatments, there aren't any physical side effects. However, participants may experience varying levels of stress or anxiety due to the nature of simulations and tests.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Change from baseline in resuscitation performance retention score 2 months post-initial training assessed using global simulation performance score

Secondary outcome measures

Change in knowledge assessment score at 2 months post-initial training assessed using an MCQ

Learner satisfaction measured by Likert scale items after each simulation debrief

Time to resuscitation metrics
