Brief Summary

Transferring classroom learning to real-life situations is a challenge. Tabletop simulation exercises offer a low-cost and context-specific approach for educating students on appropriate responses during health emergencies. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training versus traditional lecture methods in enhancing outbreak investigation skills among medical students.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Outcome will be measured via knowledge, expertise in outbreak investigation, and attitude toward community medicine.

  The primary outcome will be measured using the Cholera Outbreak Investigation Training Questionnaire (COIT-Q)-a self-designed, pre-validated tool that will evaluate: Knowledge Domain: 10 MCQs (1 mark each; total = 10 marks) Skills Domain: 6 scenario-based items rated 0-2 each (total = 12 marks) Attitude Domain: 5 Likert-scale items (1-5 per item; total = 25 marks)

  at baseline and after two week of teaching methodology applied
