Repeated Versus Varied Simulation Scenarios to Teach Medical Students the Management of a Pediatric Asthma Exacerbation

Repeated Versus Varied Simulation Scenarios to Teach Medical Students the Management of a Pediatric Asthma Exacerbation: A Randomized Controlled Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 85 (actual)
• Sponsor: Ilumens · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Repeated exposure to simulated cases has been shown to improve performance, but repeating the same scenario may impair the ability of learners to transfer their knowledge and skills to slightly different situations. The objective of this study is to compare the use of repeated versus varied simulation cases for teaching the management of pediatric asthma exacerbation to 3rd year medical students.
