CIRCumcision learning experience using simulation: A pilot learning platform for safe neonatal circumcision training offered either virtually or in person.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To our knowledge, no formal training combining didactic learning, simulation, and hands-on performance is available for practitioners performing neonatal circumcision. The absence of structured training may result in avoidable complications such as bleeding and penile injury. Herein, we present the results of a pilot neonatal circumcision training platform, offered either virtually or in person.

Material and methods

CIRCLES (CIRCumcision Learning Experience using Simulation) consist of 1. online didactic learning; 2. live simulation practice (in person or virtual coaching), and 3. clinical performance. Outcome measures included pre- and post-knowledge scores, self-efficacy questionnaires, and skill assessments of simulation and clinical performance (Likert rating)
