Brief Summary

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

This is a randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of a teaching intervention on residents' and medical students' ability to challenge clearly wrong decisions by a superior during a simulated life-threatening crisis. Participants will be randomly allocated into the control or intervention arm. The intervention arm will receive education on crisis resource management (CRM) and teaching targeting the cognitive skills required to monitor and challenge a superior's decision, and conflict resolution tools. Participants will then take part in a simulation scenario 2 to 4 weeks later and will be assessed based on 6 challenge points, followed by a debrief session.

Participants Caregivers Outcome Assessors
Deliberate deception (by not informing of the aim of assessing for ability to challenge authority) will be used to blind the participants. However, open disclosure and explanation of the rationale for deception will be conducted during the debriefing sessions and participants will be extensively counselled.

The confederate specialist will also be blinded to the allocation of the control or intervention arm of participants.

All sessions will be video recorded and assessed in random order by two independent raters blinded to group allocation, using the modified Advocacy-Inquiry Score (mAIS).

Study Groups

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

Control

Subjects allocated to the control arm will receive standard didactic interactive session on Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) principles, as part of their regular teaching schedule.
