“…As for surgical expertise, students learn how to perform an escharotomy on mannequins or practice tangential excision of predefined areas in foam wound suture pads (Limbs&Things.com, Savannah, GA, USA). Furthermore, they can even practice to harvest split thickness skin grafts (STSGs) with dermatome simulators on a human skin imitate made out of MicrofoamTM tape (3M Health Care) [ 18 ] and porcine skin [ 19 ].…”

Background: Management of burn injuries presents a complex and challenging situation for medical staff, especially for inexperienced young doctors. However, training on how to treat burn victims in the clinical setting is rarely taught in undergraduate medical classes. We have created the “SIMline”, a simulation training program explicitly designed for coaching medical students in burn management. Methods: A total of 43 students participated in the “SIMline” course, which took place at the training facility at the Medical University of Graz, between 2018 and 2019. The course provided theoretical classes, practical exercises, and a full-scale care process simulation training. The learning progress of the students was monitored via a formative integrated test. Results: Students showed great progress throughout the course of the “SIMline” program, as their test scores improved by an average of 88%. The passing rate was 0% at the first exam (prior to course) as compared to 87% at the final exam, taken after the training. Conclusions: Comprehensive practical training programs in burn care are underrepresented in medical education. The “SIMline” course presents a novel and effective approach in training medical students in burn management. However, follow-up evaluation is necessary to confirm long-term educational benefits.

“…A fundamental skill in plastic surgery is the harvesting of a split skin graft. In one simulation model, 51 a device is constructed from a wooden base with two side arms that secure and stretch a skin substitute over a synthetic limb segment formed from a 500 mL bag of fluid solution. The fluid volume is adjusted to simulate the required turgor and shape.…”
