ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is comparing two different teaching methods for new doctors, known as interns, to see which one helps them feel more confident and satisfied in their training. One group of interns will learn using virtual reality technology, which allows them to practice in a simulated environment, while the other group will use a special training device called Sim-man that simulates real-life medical situations. Researchers want to find out which method is more effective in boosting the interns’ skills and confidence before and after their training.

To participate in this study, you must be a medical intern starting your training at Seoul National University Hospital in March 2024 and agree to take part in the research. The study is not yet recruiting participants, so if you're eligible, you may have the opportunity to explore other learning methods after completing the training. This trial is important because it will help improve the education of future doctors, ensuring they are better prepared for their roles in healthcare.
