Applying Flipped Learning Concepts to Simulation: the Effect on the Retention of Non-technical Skills

"The intervention consists in the provision of preparatory instruction about the medical knowledge required to complete the task work of the upcoming simulated acute care clinical situation. The format used to convey this off-loaded educational content will be short (approximately 15 minutes) narrated video PowerPoint presentations; every relevant medical situation incorporated in the simulation case will have a dedicated video presentation.~These videos will be available to the intervention group participants on a web-based platform one week prior to the simulation session"

"Participants in the control group will be called to watch an online video prior to the simulation activity. However, this video presentation will not have any form of information regarding the upcoming simulation case; it will be an introductory video discussing the capacities of the simulation facility. This will limit any unwanted snowball effect where discussion between research participants could lead the control group participants to inquire about a video presentation that they would not exposed to."
