An interventional study of Simulation teaching session in Skin Simulation Model and Mastery Learning Model to Simulation Training for Visual Screening for Melanoma and Skin Biopsy, sponsored by Northwestern University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 89 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-09-25.
Sponsored by Northwestern University · Not applicable and Interventional
The investigators will design a curriculum for visual screening for melanoma and skin biopsy procedure, based on the mastery learning model, using simulators and web-based didactic instruction for medical students and internal medicine residents. This requires having a skin simulation model that presents a range of lesions from benign nevus to atypical nevus to melanoma in a distribution and density that mimics the clinical findings of those with 2 skin tones: fair-skin non- Hispanic white and Hispanic.
3,006 studies on the registry are indexed under Melanoma; 520 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 270 is above the median of 38 across 2,351 interventional studies indexed under Melanoma.

Exclusion Criteria:
3rd year medical students during their primary care clerkship
Other: Simulation teaching session
Simulation-based, mastery learning educational intervention in visual screening for melanoma
Simulation curriculum for screening for melanoma
To design a curriculum for visual screening for melanoma and skin biopsy procedure, based on the mastery learning model, using simulators and web-based didactic instruction for medical students and internal medicine residents
Time frame: 1 year
Change in melanoma detection skills
To measure changes in medical student and resident skills before and after the intervention, and determine if students achieve the zero error rate in recognizing the melanomas, namely no false negatives.
