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.
