Summary

This randomized educational trial compared a structured video-based Basic Life Support (BLS) training program with simulation-based BLS training among fourth-year medical students. Participants were allocated to one of the two training formats and completed a BLS knowledge test before and immediately after training. Performance was assessed using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) conducted 3 weeks after training. The primary outcome was OSCE performance at 3 weeks, and secondary outcomes included knowledge test scores and knowledge gain.
