Brief Summary

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

The goal of the randomized educational intervention study is to test whether simulation preceding didactic teaching leads to improved knowledge and performance retention compared to a didactic lecture proceeding simulation for medical students

Participants will be randomized to one of two different groups with reverse orders for simulation and lectures.

Researchers will compare each group to see which way is better for learning.

Participants Outcome Assessors
Participants will not know the specific pediatric resuscitation simulation they will be completing.

Simulation reviewers will not know which arm of the intervention the participants are in.

Study Groups

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

Simulation - Didactic Lecture Group

This group will start with a Simulation and debrief followed by a didactic lecture afterwards. They will then complete a simulation 2 months later.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Simulation on Pediatric Status Epilepticus

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will complete a simulation session and debrief lead by a pediatric emergency medicine physician on status epilepticus.

Didactic Lecture on Pediatric Status Epilepticus

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will complete a lecture on pediatric status epilepticus

Didactic Lecture - Simulation Group

This group will start with a didactic lecture and then complete a simulation and debrief. They will then complete a simulation 2 months later.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Simulation on Pediatric Status Epilepticus

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will complete a simulation session and debrief lead by a pediatric emergency medicine physician on status epilepticus.

Didactic Lecture on Pediatric Status Epilepticus

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will complete a lecture on pediatric status epilepticus
