Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Virtual Learning Platforms

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic necessitated shifts in traditional education towards virtual platforms.
  • This study details a virtual approach to basic surgical skills training for high school students in 2020 and 2021.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a virtual basic surgical skills training program for high school students.
  • To assess student confidence in surgical skills and satisfaction with the virtual simulation kit.

Main Methods:

  • Two-week virtual sessions conducted via Zoom for 99 students in 2020 and 198 in 2021.
  • Students received surgical supplies and instruments; training included interactive lectures and afternoon skills instruction.
  • Anonymous surveys assessed surgical skills confidence, kit satisfaction, and technical difficulties post-session.

Main Results:

  • High completion rates for the 37-item questionnaire (90.9%).
  • Similar confidence levels in instrument handling, skin suturing, and aorta suturing between 2020 and 2021.
  • Greater confidence in 2020 for knot tying, coronary vessel suturing, and valve model suturing compared to 2021.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual education offers potential for widespread basic surgical skills training, expanding access.
  • Further research is recommended to refine the teaching of advanced surgical skills virtually.
