About

Due to the corona pandemia and the consecutive reduction of teaching students face to face the imparting of medical skills is limited. Video sequences may be an adequate alternative to educate selected practical skills. So, the investigators intend to explore this aspect as a first concerning two basic medical skills: Donati suture and intraosseous venous access.

Full description

The investigators will recruit last year medical students and randomise them into two groups: Group A and Group B. Both groups will be video recorded during the performance of the two skills on simulators (i.s. Donati suture and intraosseous venous access) (timepoint: T0). Then group A will watch a standardised video about the skills, and group B will do self-study. Then, both groups will be again video recorded during the performance of the two skills on simulators (timepoint: T1). After 1 week group B will watch the same standardised video about the skills, and group A will do self-study. Then both groups will be again video recorded during the performance of the two skills on simulators (timepoint: T2).

Description:

Group A will be video recorded during the performance of the two skills on simulators (i.e. Donati suture and intraosseous venous access) (timepoint: T0). Then group A will watch a standardised video about the skills, then will be again video recorded during the performance of the two skills on simulators (timepoint: T1). After 1 to 2 weeks group A will do self-study, then will be again video recorded during the performance of the two skills on simulators (timepoint: T2).
