Data underlying the Research on "Development and Evaluation of a Proficiency-based and Simulation-based Surgical Skills Training for Technical Medicine Students"

<b>Objective</b><br>Surgical graduate training to achieve practice-ready students is needed, yet is often lacking. This study developed<br>and evaluated a proficiency-based, simulation-based course for basic surgical skills at graduate level. Learning<br>outcomes were measured at the level of knowledge and skills and evaluated with a post-course questionnaire after<br>students’ clinical rotations.<br><b>Methods</b><br>The surgical skills course was anchored to surgical patient flow and covered topics and skills related to pre-, intra-,<br>and post-operative care, including case-based medical reasoning, patient safety, infection management, operating<br>theatre etiquette, scrubbing and donning, instrument handling, Post-course evaluation was done with an online survey.<br><b>Results</b><br>155 graduate Technical Medicine students from academic years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 entered this study.<br><b>Datasets in this repository</b><br>English translations of Rubrics Surgical Skills <br>(Performance indicators and objectives for the scrubbing and donning, local anaesthesia, incision/excision, and suturing tasks)<br>Results Graduate Assessments Surgical SkillsQuestionnaire Results Surgical Skills<br>Figures for Simulation-based Surgical Skills Training for Technical Medicine Students<br>
