Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Repeated scenarios

Participants in the repeated scenario group will learn the management of a pediatric asthma exacerbation on the same scenario repeated three times. The scenario is a pediatric moderate asthma exacerbation not responding to treatment, .

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Repeated scenarios

Intervention Type OTHER

The same scenario of a moderate pediatric asthma exacerbation is repeated three times.

Varied scenarios

Participants in the varied scenarios group will learn the management of a pediatric asthma exacerbation on three different scenarios: a moderate asthma exacerbation, a mild one, and a severe one, for the same length of time than the "repeated scenarios" group. In this group, there is a variation of scenarios.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Variation of scenarios

Intervention Type OTHER

Three different scenarios of pediatric asthma exacerbations: a mild exacerbation, a moderate exacerbation, and a severe exacerbation.
