Medical student satisfaction and confidence in simulation-based learning in Rwanda – Pre and post-simulation survey research

Abstract

The simulation-based intervention was well received by students in this setting. Satisfaction was high and the simulation exercise increased the students' confidence. Previous research has demonstrated that SBL is effective and the results of this study now demonstrate that it is well received in our setting. As we move from knowledge-based education to a competency-based education culture, faculties in this setting should invest in providing SBL opportunities throughout the medical school curriculum.
