Objectivs: Medical education, crucial for understanding physiological processes and clinical application, faces limitations in traditional methods. Simulation-based training addresses this gap, providing a secure environment for hands-on skill practice. The objectives of the study are to (1) evaluate the impact of simulation on enhancing the learning domains of medical undergraduates and (2) gauge students’ perceptions of simulation based medical education (SBME) through a pre-validated, pre-designed questionnaire.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study, involving 60 medical undergraduates, selected by convenient sampling. The study began after obtaining approval from the Institutional Human Ethics Committee and obtaining informed consent from students. A pre-test was conducted for all 60 students followed by a lecture on simulation and then a post-test. The students were then divided into two groups: Group A – SBME using part-task trainers and standardized patients and Group B – (non-SBME) with video lectures on simulation. After 1 month, an assessment of all domains, namely cognitive, affective, and psychomotor, was done by post-test and objective structured clinical examination, respectively. Perception was obtained using the pre-validated questionnaire.
Results: The assessment scores of all domains of Group A (SBME) showed significant improvement p<0.05 except cognitive domain.
Conclusion: SBME is an effective teaching method for improving the learning domains of medical undergraduates.
