It’s about confidence, it’s about competence, it’s about developing tomorrow’s medical skills today.
Suture Training: Retention Through Ongoing Instruction and Practice
Studies show that skill retention improves when suture training unfolds over time and students are given opportunities to continue to practice beyond the initial training session.
Suture Training: Better Skill Transfer With Simulation-Based Learning
Studies have shown that simulation-based instruction with high-fidelity simulators is an effective method for improving students’ confidence and retention of skills.
Which Suture Pad Is Right For Me?
If you're planning to practice suture techniques, your choice of training materials makes a big difference. Getting a clear sense of the skills you want to practice will help ensure you select the right suture pad for your needs.
