VAGABOND: a Mnemonic to Aid in the Memory Retention of the Canadian CT Head Rule

NCT03565549 NA COMPLETED

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and usefulness of a simple one word mnemonic in the memory retention of the different components of the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) in senior medical students and interns. The CCHR, a clinical decision rule used by emergency physicians to determine the need of head CT in the context of minor traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A rapid recall of the rule in the clinical setting would be expected to improve its utilization and overcome one of the barriers in its implementation. This would ultimately result in better utilization of resources and reduction in unnecessary exposure to radiation.
