Objective To determine whether unsupervised video feedback (UVF) is as effective as direct expert feedback (DEF) in improving clinical skills performance for medical students learning basic surgical skills—intravenous cannulation, catheterization, and suturing. Background Feedback is a vital component of the learning process, yet great variation persists in its quality,..
