Expert modeling videos (EMVs) have shown promise in improving students' performance in simulation. Using a quasi-experimental design, students in a medical surgical nursing course (n = 160) viewed either an expert model demonstration video (experimental) or expert model discussion video (control). Students who viewed the demonstration video performed at a higher level of competency in 11 of the 18 behaviors on the Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument. Dr. Tracy Dodson shares the results of this study and discusses implications for teaching in nursing.
