Primary outcomePrimary: Management Score on Transfer Scenario n°1 — 8.3; 8.0 units on a scale
Summary
Repeated exposure to simulated cases has been shown to improve performance, but repeating the same scenario may impair the ability of learners to transfer their knowledge and skills to slightly different situations. The objective of this study is to compare the use of repeated versus varied simulation cases for teaching the management of pediatric asthma exacerbation to 3rd year medical students.
