Instructor-led Simulation Training Versus Self-directed Simulator Training During Simulated Neonatal Resuscitation

Instructor-led Simulation Training Versus Self-directed Simulator Training During Simulated Neonatal Resuscitation - A Randomized Controlled Trial

Simulation-based training has been widely implemented in medical education. According to educational theories, simulation-based medical education (SBME) is associated with significant advantages, which has been investigated and proved by many studies. However, the value of SBME in comparison to other instructional methodologies remains largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to directly compare two instructional methods for neonatal resuscitation training.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Fifth-year medical students prior to their mandatory OSCE
• Signing of informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusal to participate in the study

The first two OSCEs in July and August will be part of a pilot study. The combined results of both examinations will be used for a sample size calculation.
