Creative assignments in veterinary surgery courses enhance novice surgeons' skills. This active learning method improved surgical performance, reflection, and confidence, proving beneficial without compromising technical proficiency.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Surgical Education

Background:

Surgical training requires complex skill development.
Traditional methods may not fully enhance novice surgeons' capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of a creative assignment on veterinary students' surgical skills.
To assess improvements in reflection, creativity, and self-efficacy.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving an intervention group (creative assignment) and a control group (classical lectures).
Surgical performance assessed using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) in a simulated ovariohysterectomy.
Students' ability to handle surgical complications and qualitative feedback were evaluated.

Main Results:
