Description

Jessica Blank and four colleagues describe a hands-on procedure rotation for medical students, in a twenty twenty-five paper. Such rotations exist for residents but rarely for students. The multi-week elective mixed online study with supervised practice on real patients. Students took knowledge tests and surveys before and after, rating their case volume, confidence, and satisfaction.

Each student performed about eighteen procedures, most often draining belly fluid, with no major mishaps. Knowledge scores jumped from about sixty-six to eighty-seven percent. Confidence and satisfaction rose clearly as well. The authors argue early hands-on training, long thought a resident perk, safely belongs in student years too.
