Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Aim:
To investigate if
* Students with add-on access to an authentic patient video e-library have improved Mental Status Examination precision compared to students that only have an add-on e-library with simulated patient videos.
* Number of videos watched correlate to mental status examination test scores.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Two student groups are compared. The experimental intervention(V) is a larger e-learning module, where the students have access to 23 authentic patient video vignettes and an e-module on mental status exam including demonstration videos with simulated patients (actor videos). The comparator students (N-V) only have access to the e-module on mental status exam including demonstration videos with simulated patients. All students participate in the regular Psychiatry curriculum i.e. 16 lectures in one week and psychiatric clerkship in three weeks.
As students have their clerkship in 10 different facilities across the Island of Zealand, we carry out cluster-randomization based on clerkship location.
Communication, recruitment and data management is carried out within the university teaching platform (CANVAS), by manual extraction, and by questionnaires distributed by SurveyXact.

Study Groups

Experimental Add-on Intervention - Video-based self-regulated training
The intervention consist of access to the video e-library on their e-learning platform.
The video e-library consists of 23 videos of brief patient interviews, mostly with inpatients, with adjoining MSE written by three faculty psychiatrists. Selected videos are used for demonstration of phenomena, and five videos will have audio explanation of the resulting MSE.
As well as the authentic patient videos on the e-library there are some pages with written theoretical instructions on the MSE, a brief animated movie and some simulated videos by an actor all regarding the MSE.
Video-based self-regulated training on the mental status exam
Authentic patient videos for self-regulated training as well as written e-course material, both on the mental status exam
Non-video group
For the present trial, also the NV students will receive the same non-authentic patient material I.E written theoretical instructions on the MSE, a brief animated movie and some simulated videos by an actor all regarding the MSE. Ensuring it is the authentic patient video e-library and not the theoretical information responsible for the expected difference in scores.
