Dermatology residents perceive simulators as highly effective for learning surgical procedures. Implementing simulation-based training early in residency is recommended to enhance skill acquisition and assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Simulation-based training is common in surgical residencies but not in dermatology.
  • Dermatologic training traditionally relies on traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the perceived effectiveness of simulators for dermatology procedural skill acquisition.
  • To gauge resident and staff opinions on simulation in dermatologic surgery training.

Main Methods:

  • Questionnaires administered to dermatology residents and staff post-symposium.
  • Participants received 2-day instruction and practice using simulators and cadavers.

Main Results:

  • 93.9% agreed simulators aid procedural skill acquisition.

  • Over 75% found simulators useful for skill acquisition, refinement, assessment, and learning.
  • 90.9% supported mandatory simulation training, preferably early in residency.

    • Conclusions:

    • Simulation provides a valuable model for dermatologic procedural skill development and assessment.
    • Cost and instructor availability are identified barriers to implementation.
    • Further research is needed to evaluate simulation model effectiveness and implementation strategies.
