Brief Summary

Didactic lectures are the currently used mode of imparting training to medical students. Use of other modes of teaching like simulation is still in its infancy. Simulation, as a teaching tool may aid in longer retention of the learning contents and also provides a safe environment for the students to practice their skills after knowledge acquisition. The aim of the study is to analyze the efficacy of different teaching modalities in imparting a particular skill, namely adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which is a life saving skill in first year medical students. The study population includes all the first year MBBS students and the duration of the study is 1 month. A clarity as to which mode of teaching will be ideal for memory retention is the expected outcome of this study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• comparing the mean post test score of groups of students that underwent training using different teaching modalities assessed using a ten part multiple choice questionnaire.

  Amongst visual, didactic and simulation models of teaching, to identify the more effective strategy to impart Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge to first year medical students through a four hour training programme, by comparing the mean post test scores of each group

  4 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• comparing the change in the baseline test score amongst first year medical students taught by visual, didactic and simulation models.

  4 hours

• comparing the mean score of groups of students that underwent training using different teaching modalities, assessed by an examiner testing their skills using a pre set basic life support checklist proforma.
