| Abstract | ||
| Background: Simulation-based medical education [SBME] has emerged as a powerful technique to enhance the quality and safety of patient care. Aim of the work: This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of SBME for teaching basic surgical skills of vascular anastomosis [BSSVA] and basic endovascular skills [BES] in an internship training program and for resident vascular surgeons. Methods: The SBME program consisted of lecture [30 minutes], Video demonstration [15 minutes], Multiple-choice quiz [20 questions] to assess knowledge and awareness, Simulation-based hands-on training and feedback survey. Results: Learners reported high levels of satisfaction and achieved superior results compared to other topics in the same course [addressed by the quizzes]. To address the challenges of limited financial resources, the researchers designed and utilized three cost-effective simulation models using inexpensive materials for basic suturing, BSSVA, and BES, which enabled the successful implementation of the SBME program. Conclusion: A comprehensive SBME program, even with limited resources, can effectively teach BSSVA and BES to medical trainees. The use of low-cost simulation models overcome the financial barriers and created an accessible and engaging learning environment. This reflects the value of SBME. | ||
