Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess objectively whether teaching for simple wound sutures via Live-Streaming (LS) using Go-pro® has the same effectiveness as the traditional Face-to-face (FTF) teaching. The main question it aims to answer is whether training simple wound suturing skills to surgical clerkships via LS has the same effectiveness as the FTF training. After initially doing pre-test, participants will be randomized into two groups: LS and FTF. After teaching exposure, the participants will be given 1 week period of self-training to master the skill (as such procedural skills require a period of self training before we examine the effect of teaching exposure). Afterwards, they underwent post-test again with the previously same examiner, using the same OSCE rubric to avoid bias. Researchers will compare if the LS and FTF groups to see if training simple wound suturing skills to surgical clerkships via LS has the same effectiveness as the FTF training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Post-test Scores

  Post-test Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) scores Value ranges from 0 to 60. Higher score means better outcome, and vice versa.

  1 week after teaching

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Numerical Differences of Pre-test and Post-test (Delta)

  1 week after teaching

Study Arms (2)

Face-to-face

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Face-to-face teaching method

Other: Face-to-face

Live-streaming

EXPERIMENTAL

Live-streaming teaching method

Other: Live-streaming

Interventions

Face-to-face OTHER

FTF group are participants who will learn simple sutures physically present with the instructor in the same room.

Face-to-face

Live-streaming OTHER

One general surgeon (FH) will teach the participants how to do simple sutures on a mannequin, starting by explaining, then doing a live-demo step-by-step of simple wound suturing. The instructor uses a GoPro Hero 8 device on her head which is connected to the internet and produced live-streaming video, which will then be watched by LS group.
