Introduction The ability to undertake simple practical procedures is essential for graduating medical students and is typically assessed using simulated models. Feedback is a key component of the learning process in developing proficiency in these key skills. Video feedback (VF) has previously shown promise, however, negative effects of VF-related anxiety on performance have been previously reported.

Objectives: The face and construct validity of a novel pulsatile human cadaver model (PHCM) was recently demonstrated for endovascular training. This study aimed to assess the model's educational impact.
Methods: Twenty-four endovascular novices were recruited and split into two equal training groups: PHCM and virtual reality simulator (VRS).
Objectives: To determine the degree of practical clinical skills' retention over a 7-week period after receiving either video-enhanced direct expert feedback (DEF) or asynchronous unsupervised video-enhanced feedback (UVF).
Design: A prospective single-blinded randomized trial was conducted over a 7-week period with novice medical students. Following a generic introduction, PowerPoint presentation and live demonstration of intravenous cannulation was given by an expert, and candidates performed the same task in isolation while being recorded and were randomized to receive either DEF or UVF.
Objective: To determine whether unsupervised video feedback (UVF) is as effective as direct expert feedback (DEF) in improving clinical skills performance for medical students learning basic surgical skills-intravenous cannulation, catheterization, and suturing.
Background: Feedback is a vital component of the learning process, yet great variation persists in its quality, quantity, and methods of delivery. The use of video technology to assist in the provision of feedback has been adopted increasingly.

Endovascular trainees in the National Health Service still largely rely on the apprentice-apprenticeship model from the late 19th century. As the scope for endovascular therapy increases, due to the rapid innovation, evolution and refinement of technology, so too do patients' therapeutic options. This climate has also opened the door for more novel training adjuncts, to address the gaps that exist in our current endovascular training curriculum.

Video feedback is not commonly used in the teaching of surgical skills. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the benefit of 2 types of video feedback-individualized video feedback (IVF), with the student reviewing their performance with an expert tutor, and unsupervised video-enhanced feedback (UVF), where the student reviews their own performance together with an expert teaching video-to determine if these improve performance when compared with a standard lecture feedback.
