Evaluating Cadaveric Simulation Versus Traditional Instruction for Teaching Ultrasound-Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Blocks: Effects on Procedural Competency

Cadaveric model training significantly enhances procedural competency in medical students learning the SAPB compared with traditional lecture- and video-based instruction. While written knowledge gains were comparable, hands-on cadaveric experience provided a key advantage in developing clinical procedural skills. These findings support incorporating cadaveric-based instruction into procedural skill curricula for improved bedside preparedness.
