Improving Hands-On Suture Opportunities for Medical Students: A Collaborative Initiative Between Medical Students and a Simulation Lab.

Technical skills are an integral part of the practice of medicine. Simulation-based education (SBE) is a widely employed approach that allows students to acquire these skills prior to practicing them in the clinical setting. To discuss the state of SBE and potential avenues to improving education and medical student experiences, this editorial will explore the lived experiences of junior medical students, the observations of a research graduate student's informal conversations, and an educational quality improvement (EQI) pilot conducted by students at a satellite medical campus.
