Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In autumn semester 2020 a new concept of the subject First aid for the students of General medicine and Dentistry at Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University was introduced. This concept based on evidence-based medical education puts different principles such as simulation-based education, learner-centred learning, peer learning and outcome-based education into practice.

First aid training (FAT) is indispensable part of the curriculum and knowledge of the first year medical students. The investigator´s aim is to evaluate if the new concept of the first aid training led to improvement in knowledge and mainly in skills of the students. Investigator´s null hypothesis is that the new concept does not lead to improvement in the long-term retention of the knowledge and the skills than the original concept. The investigators will compare tested knowledge and skills of the students who underwent FAT in autumn semester 2019 (original concept, group A) and the students who underwent FAT in autumn semester 2020 (new concept, group B).

The evaluation of the two groups will happen in the interval of 20-24 months after the completion of the FAT. Group A will be evaluated in autumn semester 2021, group B in autumn semester 2022. The evaluation method will be based on a knowledge test and a OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) stations.

Applying principles of evidence-based medical education into practice and designing FAT according to simulation-based education could lead better long-term retention of knowledge and skills of the students.
