    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Surgical Skills Training
    • General Medicine Procedures

    Background:

    • Medical students require hands-on training for invasive procedures.
    • Traditional training methods may lack realism and standardization.
    • Cadaver-based training offers a safe and effective alternative.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of cadaver-based training for common medical procedures.
    • To enhance student understanding of procedural indications, techniques, and hazards.
    • To provide a standardized and realistic learning experience.

    Main Methods:

    • A seminar and workshop were conducted for medical students.
    • Cadavers were used to teach thoracentesis, pleural biopsy, chest-tube insertion, bone marrow biopsy/aspiration, paracentesis, liver biopsy, and arthrocentesis.
    • Focus on equipment, techniques, indications, and potential hazards.

    Main Results:

    • Cadaver utilization provided a realistic and standardized training environment.
    • Students gained familiarity with procedures prior to patient contact.
    • The training method proved adaptable to various additional procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Cadaver-based training is a valuable method for teaching procedural skills in general medicine.
    • This approach enhances student preparedness and confidence.
    • The methodology is versatile and can be expanded to other medical procedures.
