q2 · i? · review · r2

Scoping review synthesis of 35 included articles; the review reports that "Only 7 out of the 35 studies focused on medical students" and that only 20% delivered training specifically for medical students during undergraduate academic training. Audience sizes varied from 18 to 444 people.

"Only 7 out of the 35 studies focused on medical students, as shown in Figure 2a. From these seven studies, one of them focused on paramedic students and another training course focused on both medical students and doctors together."
