This study looked at how well physiotherapy students can mentally rotate objects and perceive 3D space, and whether these skills relate to their practical abilities. 118 students completed tests of spatial thinking and had their grades reviewed. The goal was to find ways to impro…

This study tested whether using a special two-angle ultrasound (biplane) helps doctors give numbing medicine to children more accurately than the usual single-angle method. It involved 46 boys having circumcision surgery. The goal was to see if the biplane approach leads to fewer…

This study looked at whether a teaching method called the Fishbowl helps nursing students learn breathing and coughing exercises more effectively than standard teaching. 63 first-year nursing students took part, with half learning through the Fishbowl method and half through trad…

This pilot study tested whether a class and hands-on practice in ergonomic body positioning helps OB/GYN residents learn to avoid injury during surgery. 23 residents participated, with some receiving guided practice and feedback using an AI video tool. The study measured knowledg…

This study tested whether a mixed reality simulation could increase empathy in anesthesiology trainees. 81 participants completed empathy surveys before and after the immersive experience. The goal was to see if this kind of training could help future doctors better understand th…

This study tested if using a serious video game helps schoolchildren learn how to do chest compressions for CPR. Over 300 students in Brazil took part. Researchers measured how deep their compressions were and compared game scores before and after training.

This study looked at two different ways of teaching neck manual therapy to 66 physiotherapy students. One group learned through a traditional team-based classroom model, while the other used a flipped model where they watched lessons at home and practiced in class. The goal was t…

This study tested whether using magnified 3D-printed models of carpal (wrist) bones helps medical students learn anatomy. 126 students were given quizzes before and after using the models, and they rated the models for detail and ease of learning. The goal was to see if these rea…

This study looked at a new way to teach medical students how to use portable ultrasound machines at the patient's bedside. The goal was to reduce physical contact during training by using small groups, peer teaching, and remote supervision. About 69 medical students took part, an…

This study looked at whether doctors remember a rare emergency airway procedure (FONA) equally well 3-4 months after training on a cheap homemade model versus a store-bought one. 44 resident doctors were randomly assigned to train on one of the two models. The goal was to see if …

This study looked at whether using Web 2.0 tools (like interactive online platforms) in nursing classes helps students participate more, stay interested, and feel motivated. About 110 nursing students took part, and researchers measured their motivation, interest, attitudes, and …
