“…In one study, medical students who completed a course of endovascular simulator training showed not only an improvement in their basic technical skills but also a substantial interest in vascular surgery, with 94% of the students showing subsequent interest in vascular surgery. 16) Similar results were obtained in a study that randomized medical students to exposure to endovascular training. 17) Not surprisingly, medical students appear to be more attracted to the integrated "0 + 5" pathway than to the traditional pathway.…”

“…Using a previously validated Global Endovascular Ratings Scale (GERS), which we developed with collaborators from other institutions, performance was assessed as components of the entire procedure, including angiography, wire access, and balloon/stent intervention. 11,14,15 Scoring on the GERS is rated by trained expert observers and based on a traditional Likert scale score of 1 ϭ fail, 2 ϭ poor, 3 ϭ satisfactory/competent, 4 ϭ excellent, and 5 ϭ expert. The participants were given 20 minutes to complete the task.…”

“…We are mindful of the pitfalls of equating confidence with competence [38], and we are therefore cautious, at this time, to suggest that our course will necessarily improve student performance in the OR. However, programmes that are, in some respects, similar to our own have been shown to have a positive impact on student technical performance in a clinical setting [17,23], which renders the hypothesis that our programme may have the same effect plausible and worthy of further investigation.…”

“…Additionally, such experiences can be influential in shaping attitudes towards an OR career for medical and nursing students alike [2,23,[28][29][30][31]. The implementation, in the preclinical years, of a hands-on educational programme with a focus on operative specialties may therefore play an important role in the timely exposure of medical and nursing students to these disciplines and, in so doing, assist with their career decision-making process.…”
