No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of hybrid simulation of the breast are more effective in teaching CBE technique and culturally sensitive doctor-patient communication skills to medical students than the traditional method.

Conditions

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Breast Examination
  • Medical Simulation
  • Standardized Patient

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Teaching using Hybrid Simulation of breast examination

Students in the "intervention/experimental" group will receive the regular lecture given at the American University of Beirut and will attend a screening of an educational video on the technique of CBE, in addition to the hybrid simulation teaching activities in the simulation lab (standardized patient wearing breast examination simulator jackets)

BEHAVIORAL

Teaching using traditional method

Students in the "control" group will receive the regular lecture given at the American University of Beirut and will attend the usual simulation lab teaching activities (single breast silicone model without any actors). The only new introduction to the curriculum is an educational video on the technique of CBE.
