“…They were all non‐controlled ‘before and after’ studies and published in 2002, 2012, 2013 and 2017 . Three of the studies were conducted in the USA and one in Uganda . Three studies took place within a hospital setting and one took place in both hospital and health centre setting.…”

“…There were a total of 134 participants involved in all of the studies. The study participants were doctors, clinical officers and registered nurse midwives . In Uganda, clinical officers (previously termed Medical Officers) are certified health workers who practice the full scope of medicine and trained to provide routine care in general medicine or within a medical speciality.…”

Aim: To systematically review the effectiveness of education and/or training for traditional (informal) and formal health service providers in infant male circumcision on morbidity or mortality outcomes. Methods: We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Global Health, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects and clinical trial registries in all languages from January 1985 to June 2018. Our primary outcomes were all-cause morbidity and all-cause mortality. Results: We identified 1399 publications. Only four non-controlled before and after studies from the USA and Uganda satisfied our criteria, all of which examined the effect of training on the skills and knowledge of medical doctors, midwives and clinical officers. No study involved informal traditional circumcision providers. All included studies were low quality. Conclusions: High-quality studies of simple training packages to improve education and training of circumcision providers, especially informal non-medical providers in low income countries are needed.

“…Simulation models for circumcision are a relatively recent development, but early research suggests that they increase the learner's comfort with the procedure. 12 Additionally, some medical students do not have the opportunity to perform a circumcision on a newborn, so they benefit from learning to perform a circumcision in a simulated experience.…”

Background. Simulation in pediatrics is described often in more procedurally-heavy areas, such as in intensive care, emergency medicine, and neonatology. However, there is a paucity of literature related to simulation in general pediatrics. We sought to improve students' comfort with and knowledge about selected procedures using simulation mannequins during their pediatric rotation. Methods. During a workshop, third year medical students received a lecture on male circumcisions, lumbar punctures, the Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers, and ear examinations. Following the lecture, the students were given hands-on instruction and feedback on the techniques for performing ear and hip exams, lumbar punctures, and circumcisions. Students took a pre-and post-encounter assessment regarding their confidence level, procedural knowledge, and perceived usefulness of the training. Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests were used to determine changes in the students' confidence levels and knowledge. Alpha was set at 0.05 for all comparisons. Results. Sixty medical students (100%) participated in the study during the 2012/2013 academic year. Confidence and knowledge increased significantly on all procedures following the simulation experience (p < 0.001). Perception of usefulness of the training also increased significantly at post-test (p = 0.019). Conclusion. Medical students benefited from using simulation to demonstrate and practice common pediatric procedures, both in their confidence and knowledge. The use of simulation for general pediatric procedures should improve patient safety, as well as remove some of the anxiety of performing procedures in actual clinical scenarios.

“…Several simulated training methods have been described using penile models to allow standardized teaching using the Mogen and Gomco clamps [228,229]. In a survey of obstetric-gynecology residents, 63% planned to perform neonatal circumcisions, but only 44% received formal training to do so [230].…”
