Trauma
Drawing from the lessons of the Covid pandemic, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) has advised that all life support courses, including the European Trauma Course (ETC), embrace blended learning methodologies to enhance the resilience of teaching and training [An experimental study was devised to address the current evidence gap by evaluating the role of blended learning for technical skill teaching in the ETC. The ETC currently uses the 4-step technique [Step 1: Real time teacher demonstration of the skillStep 2: Explanation of the different skill stepsStep 3: Learner talking the teacher or peer learner through the steps whilst the teacher/peer learner performs themStep 4: Learner performs the skill stepsUnfortunately, when taught in small groups [The aim of the study was to determine if a blended approach can be equally effective and more time-efficient than the traditional 4-step approach.
