Description
Lumbar puncture is a core clinical skill that students rarely get to practice enough. Archana Bhat, Vijay Sundarsingh, Manoj Kumar, and Lulu Sherif Mahmood compared two ways of teaching it in 2025, in a randomized study of thirty final-year medical students.
Half learned from video instruction and half through simulation-based mastery learning, both practicing on simulators with the same objectives. The video group scored higher on a structured skills test right after training. Two weeks later the picture flipped: the mastery group had improved while the video group had slipped, a crossover the statistics confirmed. Knowledge rose in both groups. The authors read the pattern as video winning the sprint and mastery learning the retention.
