Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Skills Simulation
  • Procedural Training

Background:

  • Faculty time constraints limit individually supervised medical student practice.
  • Large group sessions offer suboptimal proficiency in basic invasive techniques.
  • Assessing undergraduate assistant instructors for simulation-based training is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate undergraduate assistant instructors for one-on-one simulation training.
  • Determine the effectiveness of simulation-based instruction for basic invasive techniques.
  • Assess the financial feasibility of using student instructors.

Main Methods:

  • Developed proficiency-based checklists for intubation, catheterization, and suturing.
  • Trained four undergraduate students as instructors with high interrater reliability (0.754-0.866).
  • Conducted flexible, one-on-one practice sessions with repetitive task attempts and evaluations.

Main Results:

  • Posttest pass rates: 93% for suturing, 71% for intubation, 68% for catheterization.
  • High participant satisfaction (97%) with the training protocol.
  • Significant cost savings of $43,760 using student instructors.

Conclusions:

  • Undergraduate assistants can be trained as reliable instructors for simulation tasks.
  • This model makes effective, one-on-one technical training financially feasible for medical students.
  • The protocol shows promise for integration into standard preclinical curricula.
