Timeline
Interventions
Students in the "intervention/experimental" group will receive the regular lecture given at the American University of Beirut and will attend a screening of an educational video on the technique of CBE, in addition to the hybrid simulation teaching activities in the simulation lab (standardized patient wearing breast examination simulator jackets)
Students in the "control" group will receive the regular lecture given at the American University of Beirut and will attend the usual simulation lab teaching activities (single breast silicone model without any actors). The only new introduction to the curriculum is an educational video on the technique of CBE.
