Importance of future motivation for skill acquisition among medical students undergoing endoscopic forceps training
In dry laboratory endoscopic forceps training among medical students, all participants showed skill improvement with repeated practice. However, aspiring surgeons demonstrated significantly faster improvement, likely due to clear goal setting. As demonstrated in this study, goal-setting in student education may be associated with skill acquisition.
