Transferring classroom learning to real-life situations is a challenge. Tabletop simulation exercises offer a low-cost and context-specific approach for educating students on appropriate responses during health emergencies.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training versus traditional lecture methods in enhancing outbreak investigation skills among medical students.
This randomized controlled trial will assess the efficacy of simulation-based training compared to conventional lecture methods in improving medical students' outbreak investigation skills. it will be Conducted at CMH Lahore Medical College over nine months, the trial will include 4th year MBBS students with no prior outbreak investigation training. Participants will be randomized into two groups: an intervention group undergoing simulation-based exercises and a control group receiving traditional lectures.

Other: conventional class room teaching
a pre tested and validated questionnaire was used as a tabletop simulation method on Cholera outbreak.
conventional class room lecture using power point was delivered on Cholera outbreak.
Outcome will be measured via knowledge, expertise in outbreak investigation, and attitude toward community medicine.
The primary outcome will be measured using the Cholera Outbreak Investigation Training Questionnaire (COIT-Q)-a self-designed, pre-validated tool that will evaluate: Knowledge Domain: 10 MCQs (1 mark each; total = 10 marks) Skills Domain: 6 scenario-based items rated 0-2 each (total = 12 marks) Attitude Domain: 5 Likert-scale items (1-5 per item; total = 25 marks)
Time frame: at baseline and after two week of teaching methodology applied
