Does Teaching Before or After Simulation Improve Learning?

Outcome of a Lecture Before vs After Simulation-based Education on Pediatric Status Epileptics: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of British Columbia · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: —
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The goal of the randomized educational intervention study is to test whether simulation preceding didactic teaching leads to improved knowledge and performance retention compared to a didactic lecture proceeding simulation for medical students Participants will be randomized to one of two different groups with reverse orders for simulation and lectures. Researchers will compare each group to see which way is better for learning.

Conditions

• Medical Education
• Simulation
