    abstract = "PURPOSE: The integration of simulation-based learning (SBL) methods holds promise for improving the medical education system in Greece. The Applied Basic Clinical  Seminar with Scenarios for Students (ABCS3) is a novel two-day SBL course that was  designed by the Scientific Society of Hellenic Medical Students. The ABCS3 targeted  undergraduate medical students and consisted of three core components: the  case-based lectures, the ABCDE hands-on station, and the simulation-based clinical  scenarios. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the general educational  environment of the course, as well as the skills and knowledge acquired by the  participants. METHODS: Two sets of questions were distributed to the participants:  the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaire and an  internally designed feedback questionnaire (InEv). A multiple-choice examination was  also distributed prior to the course and following its completion. A total of 176  participants answered the DREEM questionnaire, 56 the InEv, and 60 the MCQs.  RESULTS: The overall DREEM score was 144.61 (±28.05) out of 200. Delegates who  participated in both the case-based lectures and the interactive scenarios core  components scored higher than those who only completed the case-based lecture  session (P=0.038). The mean overall feedback score was 4.12 (±0.56) out of 5.  Students scored significantly higher on the post-test than on the pre-test  (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The ABCS3 was found to be an effective SBL program, as  medical students reported positive opinions about their experiences and exhibited  improvements in their clinical knowledge and skills."
