Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Training
Virtual Learning Environments

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adaptation of medical education, including surgical rotations.
Virtual subinternships (VSI) emerged as a potential solution to maintain educational continuity and recruitment.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the challenges, advantages, and applications of a vascular surgery virtual subinternship (VSI) curriculum.
To assess student learning outcomes and satisfaction with the VSI format.
To gather feedback from faculty and resident mentors on their experience with the VSI.

Main Methods:

A two-session, 4-week virtual subinternship in vascular surgery was conducted with 25 students.
Curriculum included Zoom/telephone interactions, readings, videos, didactics, and mentorship.
Anonymous pre- and post-rotation self-assessments for students and surveys for mentors were utilized.

Main Results:

Students reported significant improvement in understanding vascular surgery concepts (P < .05), excluding knot-tying.
Interpersonal components like faculty interaction and mentorship were highly rated.
Mentors were generally satisfied but noted limitations in assessing student personality and program fit.

Conclusions:

The virtual subinternship curriculum demonstrated positive student and mentor feedback, indicating its potential.
Refinements are needed for challenges inherent to the virtual environment.
VSIs present a distinct educational model and a viable platform for adapting recruitment strategies in healthcare.
