Hypothesis:
Medical students must acquire skills to perform basic procedures such as paracentesis (PCT) or thoracentesis (TCT). These skills are usually trained in medical simulation laboratories. However, traditional undergraduate simulation workshops do not achieve individualized teaching due to the high number of students per teacher and low tutor availability.(1) Through tele-simulation (video-recording of exercises and their assessment with remote and asynchronous feedback by an expert teacher through an online platform), we have demonstrated the effectiveness of skills acquisition in laparoscopic surgery without the need of an in-person tutor.(2) This study aims to assess whether the implementation of a digital platform (called C1DO1), which enables and optimizes the tele-feedback, is a suitable teaching alternative to traditional simulation workshops. RQ: Is a remote and deferred feedback as effective as in-person feedback for simulation training in undergraduate medical students?
Methods:
Third-year medical students were included and randomized into two groups: TCT and PCT. These groups were again randomized to two more groups: training through tele-simulation (C1DO1 Group) and traditional workshop (Control Group). The C1DO1 Group had to execute up to 2-training sessions (approx 1 hour each session) through tele-simulation and received feedback by a group of 10-certified instructors. The Control group trained only once with in-person feedback for a 4-hour session intensive Bootcamp. After training, both groups were assessed in an onsite evaluation. Every group had the same theoretical and audiovisual content available. Students were assessed using the OSATS global scale and a direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) checklist. An OSATS score of ?21 points was established as approval criteria based on the performance of experts (80% in the model). Nonparametric statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney and Fischer exact test.
Results:
One hundred and twenty students were included, 30 on each group. Twenty students of the TCT-C1DO1 Group and 23 of the PCT-C1DO1 group completed the two tele-simulation training sessions. On both Control Group, all 30 students completed the traditional workshop. On the onsite evaluation, the C1DO1 group on both procedures achieved a significantly higher proportion of approval than the control group (TCT 80% vs. 43%, PCT 91% vs. 67%, p-value 0,05).
