Standardized videos in addition to the surgical curriculum in Medical Education for surgical clerkships: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medical students are expected to translate the theoretical knowledge gained during their study to practical knowledge during the clerkships. A surgical educational platform with standardized videos may be the solution.
