No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this project is to compare in situ simulation with standard lab simulation. To do this, 30 pre-clinical medical students will be randomized into the lab or ER and taught how to suture a simple laceration. To do this, a synthesized 'skin' will be placed over a volunteer's arm and will have an incision of a predetermined length.

Conditions

  • Sutured Laceration
  • Laceration

Interventions

OTHER

Simulated Learning Environment

Intervention is the environment in which the medical student will learn to practice how to suture. The end goal is to determine the impact each environment has on their ability to learn the skill.
