Improving the confidence level and surgical skills of undergraduate medical students by using pig-perineum simulation-based learning.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In many developing countries facing medical personnel shortage, including Thailand, medical graduates are required to have enough confidence and competence to perform essential procedures by themselves. They should be competent in episiotomy and perineal repair. In the early phase of actual practice of episiotomy on real patients, new clinical students are usually unskilled and less confident. To improve medical students' competency and confidence in performing basic procedures, we developed a pig-perineum simulation-based learning program. The aim of this study is to evaluate the confidence levels of medical students as well as their perspectives regarding the effectiveness of pig-perineum simulation-based learning.
