Summary
Rationale: Although the Basic Life Support (BLS) ability of a medical student is a crucial competence, poor BLS training programs have been documented worldwide. Better training designs are needed. This study aims to share detailed descriptions and the test results of two cognitive - constructivist training models for the BLS skills in the first year of medical curriculum.
