Impact of Simulation-Based Learning on National Ranking Medical Examination Results in France: A Randomized Trial (SimECNi Study).

Introduction: In France, the National Ranking Examination (ECNi) evaluates medical students based on their clinical reasoning. Simulation-based education on ECNi preparation has not been assessed. Our objective is to establish the added value of high-fidelity (HF) simulation-based learning in ECNi preparation compared with the current standard.

Development of Reliable and Validated Tools to Evaluate Technical Resuscitation Skills in a Pediatric Simulation Setting: Resuscitation and Emergency Simulation Checklist for Assessment in Pediatrics.

Objectives: To develop a reliable and validated tool to evaluate technical resuscitation skills in a pediatric simulation setting.

Study Design: Four Resuscitation and Emergency Simulation Checklist for Assessment in Pediatrics (RESCAPE) evaluation tools were created, following international guidelines: intraosseous needle insertion, bag mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, and cardiac massage. We applied a modified Delphi methodology evaluation to binary rating items.

A prospective study into the benefits of simulation training in teaching obstetric vaginal examination.

Objective: To assess the benefits of incorporating simulations in obstetric vaginal-examination training.

Methods: A single-center, randomized, prospective study was conducted in a French University Hospital. Medical students without obstetric experience were assigned, by simple random sampling, to perform either 10 or 30 vaginal-examination training procedures using a simulator.

Predictors of High Motivation Score for Performing Research Initiation Fellowship, Master 1, Research Master 2, and PhD Curricula During Medical Studies: A Strobe-Compliant Article.

Translational research plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between fundamental and clinical research. The importance of integrating research training into medical education has been emphasized. Predictive factors that help to identify the most motivated medical students to perform academic research are unknown.

Information-seeking behavior during residency is associated with quality of theoretical learning, academic career achievements, and evidence-based medical practice: a strobe-compliant article.

Unlabelled: Data regarding knowledge acquisition during residency training are sparse. Predictors of theoretical learning quality, academic career achievements and evidence-based medical practice during residency are unknown. We performed a cross-sectional study on residents and attending physicians across several residency programs in 2 French faculties of medicine.

Script concordance tests: guidelines for construction.

Background: SCT is used to assess clinical reasoning in ambiguous or uncertain situations. It allows testing on real-life situations that are not adequately measured with current tests. It probes the multiple judgments that are made in the clinical reasoning process.
