“…19,24 This type of simulation has also been shown to improve students’ confidence to perform a procedure in the clinical setting. 19,14,25,26 The quantitative outcomes from this study support these findings, but also add to literature as a new instructional method for sonography programs to improve DMS student confidence in these challenging procedures, but also a method to ensure consistent education among all students in the program, even with comparable clinical rotations.…”

“…It can also help in achieving competency for procedures that are not performed on a regular basis. 26,27 The opportunity to practice skills without fear of a patient complication, feel comfortable to ask questions, and be in an environment that was not nerve-racking was conducive to a low-stress learning experience. Over half of the comments (n = 24, 53%) about what students liked about the lab were related to hands-on experience gained during the simulation, including using the equipment and guiding during a biopsy.…”

Objective: To determine if a simulation lab using lightly embalmed cadavers would improve diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) students’ perceived competence in ultrasound-guided native renal biopsy examinations. Methods: Subjects included DMS students (n = 49) enrolled in academic years 2012 to 2018. Each DMS student performed a native renal biopsy with a nephrology fellow. Skills practiced included machine setup, inferior renal pole localization, biopsy guide preparation, needle visualization, and communication skills. Pre- and postlab surveys assessed DMS students’ perceived competence. Results: Prelab, 12% (n = 6) of students felt competent to assist in the procedure. Postlab, 61% (n = 35) of students felt competent, a statistically significant ( P < .001) change. All students viewed the lab as a valuable experience. Hands-on experience (53%), student/physician collaboration (33%), and low-stress environment (13%) were reported themes. Additional resources (50%) and scheduling (22%) were areas for improvement. Conclusion: A renal biopsy simulation lab using lightly embalmed cadavers is an effective method to improve DMS students’ perceived competence in this procedure.

“…Although FFCs have been utilized in urological training for specific procedures including laparoscopic training 11 and image-guided percutaneous renal tumor ablation, 14 our study is the first example of a cadaveric simulation program. A similar program was developed for advanced vascular surgical training 44 in which the authors ran and monitored the program over 3 years.…”

“…[7][8][9][10] However, despite their cost and lack of availability, human cadavers have been rated to be highly effective for procedural surgical training. [11][12][13] Although few studies have described their use in procedural training 11,14 and in trials of novel approaches, [15][16][17] a comprehensive and validated training program using human cadavers is lacking in urology.…”
