The Educational Impact of Bench Model Fidelity on the Acquisition of Technical Skill
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of bench model fidelity on the acquisition of technical skill using clinically relevant outcome measures.
METHODS: Fifty junior surgery residents participated in a 1-day microsurgical training course. Participants were randomized to 1 of 3 groups: 1) high-fidelity model training (live rat vas deferens; n = 21); 2) low-fidelity model training (silicone tubing; n = 19); or 3) didactic training alone (n = 10). …
