What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown

Summary

This trial tests whether a combined teaching method, which mixes online problem-solving, case discussions, and hands-on scenarios, helps internal medicine residents feel more confident and perform better when managing severe endocrine emergencies like diabetic ketoacidosis and thyroid storm. Ninety residents on their first endocrine rotation will be split into three groups: one gets traditional lectures, another gets lectures plus problem-based learning, and the third gets the full integrated program. After a 12-hour course, researchers will compare clinical skills scores, test results, and self-confidence measures to see if the new approach closes the gap between book knowledge and real-world readiness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A blended teaching program combining problem-based learning, case-based learning, and case three-dimensional teaching
What this could lead to
If effective, this teaching model could become a standard way to train doctors in handling endocrine emergencies, improving patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial, and results may not apply to other hospitals. The teaching method may not improve skills more than traditional lectures.
