Role-play Video Demonstrations in Teaching Communication Skills

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of role-play video demonstrations in teaching Doctor-Team Communication skills to fifth-year medical students at Ain Shams University. The study compares students who learn through online courses supplemented with role-play videos with students who received the traditional online course. Outcomes include student satisfaction and academic performance. The findings may help improve communication skills training in undergraduate medical education.

Handoffs and Transitions in Critical Care - Understanding Scalability

The investigators will leverage implementation science and engineering to adapt, implement, and rigorously evaluate tailored postoperative handoff protocols and implementation strategies. In doing so, the investigators will develop a vital understanding of the factors needed for successful and sustained use of evidence-based interventions in acute care. This knowledge will inform approaches to bridge the evidence-to-practice gap that prevents effective interventions from realizing the promise of improved patient outcomes in acute care settings.
