Inclusion Criteria: * Medical students studying in the Department of Anesthesiology * The initial training for "Advanced Life Support Scenario Simulation Instruction" required by this study has been successfully completed, and the corresponding pre-test assessment has been passed. * Voluntarily participate in this study and sign a written informed consent form, committing to adhere to the entire schedule of the research plan. * During the research period, do not participate in any other training that conflicts with this experiment. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who have previously obtained an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) provider certificate issued by the American Heart Association (AHA) or an equivalent organization, and whose certificate remains valid. * Individuals who have participated in any form of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Advanced CPR scenario simulation training courses within the past three months. * Previously participated as a subject in educational interventions comparing "spaced learning versus traditional learning." * Individuals who, for any reason, fail to complete all instructional components during the initial training phase or whose pre-test data is missing. * Individuals who are unable to guarantee participation in all scheduled training or testing sessions during the study period (particularly on Days 2, 4, 6, and 7) due to scheduling conflicts, leave requests, or other reasons.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
