Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Assessment of the qualities of the techniques (Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) modified scale)
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Evaluate the quality of execution of the technical gesture and its retention on each group (teaching basic surgical techniques through video and traditional education (courses face-to-face)). The Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) modified scale is scored from 8 (worst performance) to 40 (best performance).
Time the participants took to complete the procedure
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Time in minutes and seconds (mm:ss) that the participants took to complete the procedure on each group (teaching basic surgical techniques through video and traditional education (courses face-to-face)).
Secondary Outcomes
- Assessment of participants' involvement and interest (time of self-study in hours)(1 month)
- Participant satisfaction with teaching method (Likert-like satisfaction questionnaire)(1 day)
