The utility of endovascular simulation to improve technical performance and stimulate continued interest of preclinical medical students in vascular surgery.
J Surg Educ. 2009 Nov-Dec; (6): 367-73
New training paradigms in vascular surgery allow for early specialization out of medical school. Surgical simulation has emerged as an educational tool for trainees to practice procedures in a controlled environment allowing interested medical students to perform procedures without compromising patient safety. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of a simulation-based curriculum to improve the technical performance and interest level of medical students in vascular surgery.
