Can Hands-On hospital training beat online learning for future cardiologists?
NCT ID NCT07755878
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial asks whether supervised, in-person hospital practice improves cardiac rehabilitation knowledge and skills in cardiology residents more than matched online activities. Ninety-eight residents will be randomly assigned to either a blended group with hospital-based sessions or an online control group, both following the same seven-module curriculum. The main goal is to compare post-training knowledge scores, with secondary measures of clinical skills assessed by blinded examiners.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Supervised hospital-based practice sessions versus matched online learning activities
- What this could lead to
- If hospital-based practice proves superior, it could shape how cardiac rehabilitation is taught to future cardiologists, potentially improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and focuses on short-term educational outcomes, which may not translate to long-term clinical proficiency or patient outcomes.
