Background.The simulation literature widely agrees that the reflective learning phase after the simulation is equal to or perhaps of\neven greater importance than the actual simulated scenario in ensuring learning. Nevertheless, advanced life support (ALS) tends\nto have many simulated scenarios followed by short feedback sessions. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two\ngroups of novice learners to stay adherent to the ALS guidelines in their provision of ALS after they had received either 8 or 12\nsimulated resuscitation scenarios, both in 4 hours. Methods. This study was a randomised controlled trial. Participants were either\nrandomised to the control group with 12 scenarios (15 minutes per scenario) with 5 minutes of feedback or the intervention group\nwith 8 simulations (15 minutes per scenario) with 15 minutes of feedback. Results.There was no statistically significant difference\nin test scores between the intervention group and control group in the 1-week retention test (
