Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of adding mental visualization to a training program in medical education. Undergraduate medical students will be randomized before participating in a training program on airway management during rapid sequence induction. In the control group, participants will receive traditional teaching including theoretical courses and procedural simulation. In the intervention group, in addition to traditional teaching, participants will be trained and encouraged to practice mental visualization. The main outcome will be clinical performance during a standardized high-fidelity simulation of rapid sequence induction assessed using a specific pre-established checklist.
