Live-streaming Vs Face-to-face Teaching Method Effectiveness in Training Surgical Clerkship

Objective Assessment of Live-streaming Vs Face-to-face Teaching Method Effectiveness in Training Simple Wound Suturing Skill to Surgical Clerkship

The goal of this observational study is to assess objectively whether teaching for simple wound sutures via Live-Streaming (LS) using Go-pro® has the same effectiveness as the traditional Face-to-face (FTF) teaching. The main question it aims to answer is whether training simple wound suturing skills to surgical clerkships via LS has the same effectiveness as the FTF training.

After initially doing pre-test, participants will be randomized into two groups: LS and FTF. After teaching exposure, the participants will be given 1 week period of self-training to master the skill (as such procedural skills require a period of self training before we examine the effect of teaching exposure). Afterwards, they underwent post-test again with the previously same examiner, using the same OSCE rubric to avoid bias. Researchers will compare if the LS and FTF groups to see if training simple wound suturing skills to surgical clerkships via LS has the same effectiveness as the FTF training.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Surgery clerkships
• Willing to participate voluntarily and give consent to the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants who drop out between 1 week period of pre-test and post-test
• Participants not willing to be involved in the teaching exposure
