NCT ID NCT07729176

First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two teaching methods for surgical skill training in first-year postgraduate surgery trainees. One group learns through traditional lectures and demonstrations, while the other uses a flipped classroom model where trainees study materials beforehand and spend class time on hands-on practice and discussion. The goal is to see which approach better improves surgical skills, measured by a standardized exam.
