| - | Abstract | + | ===BACKGROUND=== |
| + | Practice influences new skill acquisition. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the impact of practice distribution (weekly vs monthly) on complex motor skill (end-side vascular anastomosis) acquisition and 4-month retention. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===METHODS=== | ||
| + | Twenty-four surgical interns were randomly assigned to weekly training for 4 weeks or monthly training for 4 months, with equal total training times. Performance was assessed before training, immediately after training, after the completion of distributed training, and 4 months later. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===RESULTS=== | ||
| + | There was no statistical difference in surgical skill acquisition and retention between the weekly and monthly scheduled groups, as measured by procedural checklist scores, global rating scores of operative performance, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===CONCLUSIONS=== | ||
| + | Distributed practice results in improvement and retention of a newly acquired surgical skill independent of weekly or monthly practice schedules. Flexibility in a surgical skills laboratory curriculum is possible without adversely affecting training | ||
