Medical students were randomized to receive live video- or recorded video-delivered feedback on suturing skills. A non-randomized control group received in-person feedback. Pre- and post-feedback recordings of suturing were evaluated to see if the students receiving video-delivered feedback improved just as much as students receiving in-person feedback.
Medical students were randomized to receive live video- or recorded video-delivered feedback on suturing skills. A non-randomized control group received in-person feedback. Pre- and post-feedback recordings of suturing were evaluated by blinded assessors to determine improvement using the University of Bergen suturing skills assessment tool (UBAT) and Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS). Study arms were compared to the control arm in a non-inferiority analysis. Participants and feedback providers completed questionnaires regarding feasibility and utility of their feedback modality.
