q2 · i? · review · r3

Randomised controlled trial of 34 medical students reviewed within the systematic review, evaluating the EyeSi DO simulator in an OSCE setting. Appendix A reports that the "Simulation group had statistically higher OSCE scores than the control group, and high satisfaction of students in the simulator group."

"Boden et al.38 evaluated the use of the EyeSi DO simulator in an OSCE setting. Students found that the model had high realism with its ability to imitate eye movements, blinking and pupil size."
