摘要: Abstract Background Resuscitation outcomes are related to care delivered by ‘first responders’, even for hospitalized patients. Third year medical students (clinical clerks) at McGill University trained and certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) critically ill adult patients, but receive only minimal instruction, the form of a brief introductory lecture, on paediatric life support. Methods We developed an interactive, case-based 4-h Paediatric Course based objectives teaching methods Pediatric (PALS) course. Objectives were tailored appropriate level through consensus two content–expert authors external expert physician–educators. Students completed equivalent pre post course multiple-choice exams, using questions selected from PALS In order minimize ‘guessing’, subjects penalized incorrect answers. Upon completion course, anonymously surveyed perceived educational value resuscitation Results 49 voluntarily participated, groups 6–8 time, with 47 completing study protocol. Students’ test scores significantly increased (12.65/22 vs. 17.70/22; p Conclusion Medical can learn appropriately designed courses believe it should be mandatory their training.
