SAMs 3 month programme

Source: [[jnl:Masud2017]]

  - didactic teaching
  - chicken femoral artery - SAMS scoring
  - 60 points

Structured programme
  - 12 weeks
  - weekly progress
  - 4 step progress: needle dexterity, economy of movement, operative flow, operative judgement
  - uses models that are easy to produce
  - chicken thigh - end to end, end to side, then discrepancy
  - patency check using blackberry juice

Self training
  - at least 1 hour a week
  - take break after each hour

Too many different things - why not just a simple model
  - discrepancy, arteriotomy

Comments:
  - no spread of results
  - did practice hours --> correlate with results?

Points:
  - Regular training helps --> score is better
  - but final assessment also on chicken thigh -- ? transfer of skills
