NCT06857266

Brief Summary

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.
