Proficiency and Retention of Five Clinical Veterinary Skills Using Multipurpose Reusable Canine Manikins versus Live Animals: Model Development and Validation
Abstract:Simulation in veterinary education provides a safe and ethical alternative to using live animals, but most simulators are single purpose and unvalidated. In this study, canine training manikins were created using readily available materials to teach fine needle aspiration (FNA) of peripheral lymph nodes, jugular venipuncture, cephalic venipuncture, intravenous catheterization, and cystocentesis. Undergraduate subjects were prospectively enrolled and stratified by veterinary experience prior to randomization in… Show more
