Integrating asynchronous videos with simulation training enhances surgical intern preparedness. This digital approach supports self-paced learning and improves confidence, though logistical challenges remain.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Digital Learning Technologies

Background:

  • Digital educational resources like videos and simulations are vital for undergraduate medical procedural skills training.
  • Limited qualitative data exists on integrating these resources in real-world, time-constrained surgical internships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore medical students' and instructors' experiences with a combined asynchronous video and simulation module for suturing skills.
  • To understand the pedagogical integration of digital tools in surgical internship training.

Main Methods:

  • An interpretive qualitative study involving 20 sixth-year medical students and 1 instructor during a surgical internship in Chile.
  • Data collected via focus groups and semistructured interviews, analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
