Study Overview
Brief Summary
Our purpose is to use 3D printing technology to make human anatomical cardiovascular model, which could apply in the medical education for medical students, in order to improve the effectiveness of the learning process to access.
Detailed Description
Background：
The medical teaching models are expansive and rare. We try to use the 3D printing technology to print cardiovascular model. By using the 3D cardiovascular model, we try to facilitate the leaning curve of understanding the cardiac catheterization.
Study Design：
This is a single-site prospective randomized controlled trial of medical education. We expect to enrolled 50 participants. Both group will receive same teaching program. Traditional education model will be used in control group, and 3D printed model will be used in the experimental group.

Arms & Interventions
Slide-based presention group
Received a regular learning
Intervention: Slide-based presention (Other)
3D-printed presention group
Received a regular learning plus 3D printing model
Intervention: 3D printed educational model (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Examination score of pre-intervention
Time Frame: pre-intervention
score of pre-intervention (maximun 100 and minimum 0), higher means a better outcome
Examination score of post-intervention
Time Frame: immediately after the intervention
score of post-intervention (maximun 100 and minimum 0), higher means a better outcome
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
