Repeated Versus Varied Simulation Scenarios to Teach Medical Students the Management of a Pediatric Asthma Exacerbation

Repeated Versus Varied Simulation Scenarios to Teach Medical Students the Management of a Pediatric Asthma Exacerbation: A Randomized Controlled Study

Repeated exposure to simulated cases has been shown to improve performance, but repeating the same scenario may impair the ability of learners to transfer their knowledge and skills to slightly different situations. The objective of this study is to compare the use of repeated versus varied simulation cases for teaching the management of pediatric asthma exacerbation to 3rd year medical students.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Third year medical students from Paris Descartes and Paris Diderot medical faculties.
• Who are not opposed to participated in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Opposition to participate in the study
