简要总结
Learning is a complex process and influenced by a number of factors including the innate ability of the trainee, previous experiences (e.g. video game skills, music instrument skills), learning style and the overall learning environment. Understanding of the learning process and factors influencing the learning shall help develop and plan an effective curriculum for the trainees.
The investigators plan to use medical students as a part of the study since they have little or no prior knowledge or experience of laparoscopic skills. If any factors are identified, the investigators can help guide the participants for future training as well as develop a comprehensive curriculum for the current surgical trainees.
The primary objective of the study is to determine if acquisition and retention of laparoscopic skills in medical students is superior with multiple training sessions as compared to a single training session of the similar duration.
详细描述
Study Design:
This will be a parallel randomised controlled study design with a 1:1 ratio in each arm studying the influence of duration and number of training encounters on the acquisition of laparoscopic surgery skills.
Setting: The training shall be conducted at the Centre for Innovation in Medical Education (CIME) of the Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan. The data shall be collected and analysed at the department of surgery of Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan.
Study Participants: Year 2, 3 and 4 medical students of Aga Khan University Medical College, Karachi, will be invited to voluntarily participate in the study.
Sample Size & Groups: A non-probability, all-inclusive sampling technique will be used. A voluntary participation will be required and the expected number of participants has been estimated to be 50 in each group. The students will be randomly distributed into two groups by using pre-designed envelopes:

结局指标
主要结局
Clinical Skills
时间窗: 1 year
Clinical skills of students shall be assessed by using the GOALS (global operative assessment of laparoscopic skills) scale for assessment of clinical skills in laparoscopy. This is a validated tool and has 5 parameters assessed on a Likert scale of 1 to 5. Higher the score, better the value.
