Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Stating the correct diagnosis
At the end of the study time (5 minutes), a study physician enters the simulator room and asks the participate on his/her presumptive diagnosis. Simualtions are video-taped and the analysis of the outcome is performed by trained observers by video analysis. "Stating the correct diagnosis" is a binary outcome, rated either as "yes" (correct presumptive diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is stated) or "no" (correct presumptive diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is NOT stated).
