Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Skills Training
  • Family Medicine Residency

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional in-person medical procedure training.
  • Social distancing and financial constraints necessitate innovative, low-cost remote training solutions.
  • Residency programs require effective methods for procedural skill acquisition despite limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an inexpensive, remote training protocol for procedural skills.
  • To assess the efficacy of a sausage model for teaching toenail procedures remotely.
  • To investigate the use of synchronous video communication for medical training.

Main Methods:

  • Family medicine residents (n=11) trained in toenail procedures using a sausage model.
  • Training delivered remotely via synchronous two-way video telecommunication.
  • Cognitive skills evaluation and self-assessment of confidence (1-10 scale) administered pre- and post-training.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in cognitive scores from 73.6% to 86.0% (P=0.022).
  • Trainee self-assessed confidence significantly increased across all procedural aspects.
  • The sausage model proved effective for remote skill acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • Synchronous video communication is an effective method for remote procedural training.
  • The sausage model provides a cost-effective and accessible tool for teaching toenail procedures.
  • This protocol offers a scalable solution for medical residency training challenges.
