End of the two-week Thoracic Surgery clinical rotation.

Study Arms (2)

Digital stethoscope use

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention comprises a comprehensive curriculum titled "Respiratory Auscultation with Digital Stethoscopes," designed to enhance the proficiency of medical students in diagnosing respiratory disorders through auscultation. The curriculum utilizes advanced digital stethoscope technology, specifically electronic digital stethoscopes, and the Eko auscultation software platform, to facilitate the visualization and analysis of recorded breath sounds, thereby augmenting traditional auscultation training methods.

Device: Digital stethoscope use

Traditional stethoscope use

NO INTERVENTION

The curriculum utilizes a traditional stethoscope.

Interventions

Digital stethoscope useDevice

In this interventional study, 84 medical students were randomly allocated to an intervention group utilizing a novel digital stethoscope curriculum or a control group receiving traditional instruction. The intervention leveraged digital stethoscopes, enabling visualization and analysis of recorded breath sounds. Pre- and post-assessments evaluated respiratory
