Study Details

Brief 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.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Simulation - Didactic Lecture Group

This group will start with a Simulation and debrief followed by a didactic lecture afterwards. They will then complete a simulation 2 months later.

Interventions

Simulation on Pediatric Status Epilepticus

The participants will complete a simulation session and debrief lead by a pediatric emergency medicine physician on status epilepticus.

Didactic Lecture on Pediatric Status Epilepticus

The participants will complete a lecture on pediatric status epilepticus

Primary outcome measure

  • Change from baseline in resuscitation performance retention score 2 months post-initial training assessed using global simulation performance score [ Time Frame: From initial simulation until repeat simulation 2 months later ]
