q2 · i? · review · r3

Before–after quasi-experimental study (Lazzarini et al., as charted in Table 1) of a 2-day workshop using part-task stations, scenario-based simulations with foot models, and standardized patients with simulated foot ulcers. The review reports significant improvements in knowledge and practical skills; no effect size is printed.

"FUST program was effective in increasing podiatrists' confidence in managing foot ulcers, with significant improvements observed in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills as assessed through simulation‐based training"
