Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The aim of this study is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of training models that are accessible, reproducible, and geared toward new learners. Specifically, the investigators aim to compare the four following models: Japanese shirataki konjac noodle, "Dragon skin" silicone vessel, standard silicone vessel, and the "blue-blood" chicken thigh model. This information will be valuable in assessing the utility of implementing a Japanese shirataki konjac noodle model in beginner microsurgical courses for both local and global education and outreach.
