Study Summary

Learning the simple skin suture is part of the surgical basics required for all medical students, including future general practitioners.

However, there is no data in the educational literature to help choose the best learning technique.

Several teams have offered video learning showing the correct technique. Level n+1 peer learning was also proposed, without and with supervision by an expert.

The investigators propose to carry out a prospective study comparing the quality of sutures and knowledge according to the chosen learning method.
