Filter by:College of Medicine, DAU University, is a private college, located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which launched its activity in 2013. Since that time, there is a continuous increase in the number of students, especially during the last three years after the graduation of the first batch, which is not associated with the recruitment of new faculty. Of course, this increase in the number of students has affected greatly the interaction between the instructors and the students. Another challenging point is the short time assigned for most of the preclinical years' courses as most of our blocks have 5-8 weeks duration with a lot of work needed to be done to help students demonstrate mastery of the intended learning outcomes. As a response to these problems, the investigators sought to pilot testing flipping the classroom of clinical skill sessions as a new educational approach in our college.
The study investigates the impact haptic devices have on reaching proficiency on a laparoscopic simulator as well as investigation if there is a difference in retention of the acquired skills.
The objective of this study is to generate expert consensus statements on the definitions of success and failure and its influencing factors in Post-graduate medical education.
The purpose of this single-center randomized study is to investigate whether bronchoscopy training in an immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) environment will make the surgeon better at handling distractions and increase the quality of the bronchoscopy. The participants will be stratified according to gender and randomized into two groups. Both groups will initially train on the bronchoscopy simulator without VR. Afterwards the intervention group will train in an iVR environment with Virtual Reality Goggles while using the bronchoscopy simulator, while the control group will train without VR goggles. Afterwards both groups will be tested in the iVR environment in a test scenario
This study aimed to compare simulation training with conventional training (case-based discussion only) to improve team performance in implementing one-hour sepsis bundle in the intensive care unit
Virtual reality (VR) has been proposed as a promising technology for education since the combination of immersive and interactive features enables experiential learning. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of VR-based training on oral health care for dependency elderly among oral hygiene students.
This a randomized trial comparing the use of an organized podcast curriculum using the podcast, CREOGs Over Coffee, to usual teaching for first and second year Ob/Gyn residents on their obstetrics rotations. Residents at HUP and PAH will be included. Post intervention questionnaires will be administered at the end of each block to assess resident satisfaction with their block as well as confidence in their clinical care and skills. CREOG scores will be used to assess knowledge differences.
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of two educational interventions to enhance breastfeeding knowledge among senior medical students. One intervention consisted of a traditional face-to-face teaching lecture and the other consisted of the use of a smartphone application containing information about breastfeeding.
This study is an online survey to assess risk literacy among students of the medical and dentistry faculties in Portugal. Risk literacy is the capability to understand and interpret statistical information, based on simple rules of thumb. The investigators assess the level of "medical risk literacy" among Portuguese medical and dentistry students with the Quick Risk Test (QRT) and the multiple choice version of the Berlin Numeracy Test (BNT).
This study is designed to: 1. Create 4 short PLMs aimed at improving visual estimation of LVEF on TTE images. 2. Design a study to determine if these online PLMs can be used to increase the ability of medical students to estimate LVEF on TTE images and create long term retention of this skill. The hypothesis of the study is that several short PLM sessions over a period of approximately 1 month will improve the ability of third- and fourth-year novice medical students in echocardiography to visually estimate LVEF using TTE images.
