Comparison of knowledge and confidence between medical students as leaders and followers in simulated resuscitation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare both the knowledge and self-reported confidence levels between medical students as the team leaders and followers in shock resuscitation simulation training.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted with all fifth-year medical students participating in a shock resuscitation simulation-based training between May 2017 and March 2018.
