Teleteaching on Clinical Procedural Skills

Six plastic surgery residents and 12 general practitioners voluntarily participated in 3 different workshops. Three workshops on different procedural skill sets were conducted by including surgical knotting skills, suturing techniques and basic laparoscopic hand-eye coordination skills. A group of participants learned the skills on site, while another group joined the workshop synchronously through the online multiscreen display teleconference platform. The teaching effectiveness was assessed using pre-post written test, OSATS, GRS and self-efficacy. Online skills teleassessment was also compared to the asynchronous assessment based on pre-recorded videos.
