MEDICAL EDUCATION

This trial compares two ways of teaching clinical reasoning to medical students: an interactive video-based simulation using real patient cases versus a standard lecture. About 250 students will participate, and their reasoning skills will be measured afterward. The goal is to se…

This study looked at how stressful, high-stakes exams (where failing means disqualification) affect nursing students' stress levels and clinical skills compared to routine exams. 78 final-year students were split into two groups, one facing a critical CPR test and the other a sta…

This study looked at whether a hands-on workshop using cadavers helps doctors feel more confident doing ultrasound-guided procedures on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. 78 doctors completed the training and filled out questionnaires before and after. The results showed that the wo…

This study looked at whether using concept maps—diagrams that show how ideas connect—helps third-year medical students learn and remember information better. 26 students were split into three groups: one with no concept map, one with a map made by the teacher, and one where stude…

This study tested whether AI-generated educational material on acne could teach medical students as well as standard human-written material. 190 first- and second-year medical students were split into three groups: one read AI-generated content, one read content from the Turkish …

This study tested whether a digital microlearning program—short, scenario-based online modules—could improve patient-safety awareness and error recognition in nursing students before they start surgical clinical practice. Ninety second-year nursing students were randomly assigned…

This study tested a new way to train doctors in difficult conversations, like breaking bad news. 195 resident doctors were split into three groups: one trained with an adaptive virtual patient that changed its emotions based on the doctor's words, one with a non-adaptive virtual …

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can create test questions as good as those written by experienced teachers. 26 anesthesiology residents answered 200 true/false questions, half made by AI and half by experts. Researchers compared how hard and how fair the qu…

This study tested a 3-day training course called Transfusion Camp for final-year medical students and new interns in Rwanda. The course taught safe blood transfusion practices based on national guidelines. Researchers measured knowledge before and after the course and tracked how…

This study compared case-based learning (CBL) to traditional lectures for teaching tooth reduction skills to 60 dental students. The CBL group attended four weekly 90-minute sessions focused on real clinical cases, while the control group received standard lectures. Researchers m…

This study compared two ways to teach CPR to medical students: watching instructional videos versus practicing on manikins with an instructor. Over 120 fourth-year students took part, and their skills were tested three weeks later. The goal was to see if video training could be a…

This study tested whether extra simulation-based team training for doctors and nurses in pediatric departments improves teamwork, patient safety, and newborn health. About 1,200 healthcare workers from eight departments took part, with half receiving extra training and half conti…

This study tested whether simulation-based lectures help first-year anesthesiology residents learn and remember more than online lectures during wartime in Ukraine. Sixty-five residents were randomly assigned to either hands-on simulation training or online classes over three mon…

This study tested three different ways to teach new medical interns about diabetic ketoacidosis: an online course, a high-tech simulation with a mannequin, and a puzzle-based escape game. Fifty-one interns were randomly assigned to one of the three methods. Their knowledge was te…

This study looked at whether a generative AI simulation can improve how medical students communicate a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. 120 students were split into two groups: one used the AI tool, the other used traditional methods. Researchers measured changes in communication skill…

This study tested whether an AI teaching tool (GPT) helps medical students learn about high blood pressure better than traditional methods. Fifty-two students took part, either using the AI system or standard materials. The goal was to see if the AI improved test scores and how s…

This study tested a group-based reverse OSCE method to teach mechanical ventilation to 70 nursing students. Half learned through interactive stations, the other half through traditional lectures. Researchers measured knowledge and skills before and after to see which approach wor…

This study looked at whether a short mental training session could help anesthesia residents feel less stressed before performing an epidural on a pregnant patient. Thirty-two residents were split into two groups: one got mental preparation, the other did not. Researchers measure…
