q2 i? In Wu et al.'s randomised controlled trial, students trained with a 3D printed eye model plus simulated patients had improved fundus identification rate and time compared with simulated patients alone. → Dutt Deepaysh DCS 2025

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Randomised controlled trial of 92 medical students reviewed within the systematic review, comparing eye-model-plus-simulated-patient training with simulated-patient-only training. The review reports that "training with an eye model improved fundus identification rate and time."

"Wu et al.50 conducted a randomised control trial where students trained on either simulated patients and an eye model, or only on a simulated patient using a 3D printed eye model, and found that training with an eye model improved fundus identification rate and time."
