Results: A total 925 recruited period. Of these, 626 group and 299 learning group. no statistically significant difference two (χ2=1.02 p = 0.313) terms first pass attempts; attempt MCQ (p=0.805) practical stations (p=0.408). However, there mean vs score, -0.29 (95% CI: -0.57 -0.01, p=0.0409). Finally, senior doctors also found perform better than junior both (p=0.0235) courses (p=0.0309) certification. Conclusion: Participants demonstrated least equal overall proficiency certification instruction.
