Innovating medical education: Development of an affordable, 3-D printed knot-tying simulator
Background
Three-dimensional (3-D) printing offers an innovative option to produce clinical simulators because of its low production costs and widespread availability. We aimed to develop a low-cost, 3-D printed knot-tying simulator that overcomes the barriers students face in self-directed skills development.
Approach
Medical students completing a procedural residency preparation course (PRPC) completed a pre-survey with Likert scales and multiple choice questions to assess their perceptions of and barriers to self-directed knot-tying practice. Subsequently, a 3-D printed knot-tying simulator, which contains a progression of knot-tying challenges and a designated video curriculum, was designed. After utilising the simulator in a 1-hour, faculty-guided knot-tying session, PRPC students assessed the educational utility and usability of the simulator via a post-survey.
Evaluation
The primary barriers students faced in engaging in self-directed knot-tying practice included limited accessibility to simulators and insufficient knowledge of knot-tying techniques. Many students (91.3%, n = 21) agreed that practicing with the simulator improved their knot-tying motor skills and was easy to use (100%, n = 23). Twenty-two (95.7%) students agreed that they would continue to use the simulator beyond the knot-tying session and PRPC.
Implications
We demonstrate the educational utility and usability of a novel 3-D printed knot-tying simulator for medical education. Enabling students to engage in self-directed technical skills development is critical in developing surgical skills that can translate to clinical environments. Our simulator highlights the benefits of 3-D printers as an innovative, inexpensive option to improve the availability and accessibility to medical education tools.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
