Popis: Summary:. A hands-on facial fracture simulation course can be an important adjunct teaching modality in resident education and training, enhancing both resident confidence and competence in treatment of facial fractures. In this study, 11 plastic surgery residents participated in a surgical wet laboratory and lecture focusing on operative management of facial fractures. Pre- and post-course questionnaires were administered as clinical knowledge assessments. Pre-course, 40% of participating residents reported feeling comfortable with facial fracture management (>5 of 10) and 50% of residents achieved competence on clinical assessment (scoring >50%). Following the simulation course, these same assessments were re-administered. Post-course, comfortability with fracture management increased to 100% among participating residents, and 90% of residents scored >50%, demonstrating improvement in clinical competency.
