AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance surgical skills in third-year medical students through a hybrid-abdominal wound simulation workshop focusing on drain care, staple removal, and Steri-Strip application.
- Assessment indicated two proficiency groups: high proficiency students performed better and felt more confident compared to low proficiency students, with all participants finding the workshop beneficial.
- Overall, the ACS/ASE Medical Student Simulation-based Surgical Skills Curriculum was effectively integrated into the surgical clerkship, with students showing improved skills and positive feedback.
Article Abstract
Objective: We incorporated a hybrid-abdominal wound simulation to teach/assess the acquisition of three essential clinical skills in the ACS/ASE Medical Student Simulation-based Surgical Skills Curriculum.
Method: Third year students (N = 43) attended a workshop based on the ACS/ASE surgical skills curriculum for drain care/removal, staple removal and Steri-Strip application. Following a didactic session and demonstration using a simulated patient, student skill acquisition was assessed using the ACS/ASE module rating tool. Student interest/perceived usefulness of the workshop was evaluated using Keller's Motivational Survey.
Results: We used median scores to identify low proficiency (n = 20; scores 17-28) and high proficiency (n = 23; scores 29-35) groups. The high proficiency group was more knowledgeable, performed better drain care, had a higher global score and was more confident than the low proficiency group. The students rated the workshop highly based on the Keller's Motivational Survey.
Conclusion: All students were proficient in the procedure tasks and communication skills and most felt that the course was beneficial. The ACS/ASE Medical Student Simulation-based Surgical Skills Curriculum was successfully integrated into our third year surgical clerkship.

Division of Pediatric Surgery, Duke Children's Hospital and Health Center, Durham, North Carolina.
Objective: We describe a novel approach to promoting medical student learning and engagement during trauma resuscitation with implementation of a structured observation and debriefing tool.
Design: In the context of a multifaceted quality improvement effort in our emergency room, we implemented a structured trauma observation tool (SOT) for medical students based on ATLS trauma guidelines. The SOT reflects the American College of Surgeons and Association for Surgical Education (ACS/ASE) trauma evaluation module for medical students.

Objective: Patient safety initiatives have revealed a need for standardized medical student skills curricula. In 2014 the America College of Surgeons/Association for Surgical Education Medical Student Simulation-based Skills Research Collaborative initiated a multisite study to implement and study the effect of a skills curriculum during the surgical clerkship.
Design: Students underwent knot-tying and suturing sessions.

Background: We hypothesized that medical experts would concur the American College of Surgeons/Association for Surgical Education Medical Student Simulation-based Surgical Skills Curriculum ("ACS/ASE Curriculum") could be used to teach and assess Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).
Methods: A "crosswalk" was created between ACS/ASE Curriculum modules and eight EPAs. Medical education experts participated in a Delphi process regarding feasibility of using the modules for teaching and assessing EPAs.
