About

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.
