Novel indigenous low cost (NICA) model for hands on training of surgical interns in incision and drainage procedure for superficial skin abscess
The development and implementation of the NICA model offer a scalable and cost-effective solution for surgical training in resource-limited settings. The model's effectiveness in enhancing interns' skills and confidence underscores its potential to address training needs effectively. The study highlights the significance of simulation-based training in surgical education and advocates for the widespread adoption of indigenous low-cost models to improve surgical skills acquisition.
