3.2.2 Workshops Student-Led Led Extracurricular Activities
A 2015 analysis of a pre and post-intervention survey with a 92.6% response rate. The 50 responses showed that the understanding of the CT training pathway and academic pathway increased from 20% to 80% (p<0.001) and 20% to 70% (p<0.001) respectively. Furthermore, 77% strongly agreed that the event increased their interest in CT surgery (25). Similarly, in George J. et.al.(26), 80 UK medical students completed a questionnaire after attending a workshop comprising of operative videos, career seminars, basic surgical skills, and animal heart dissections. The survey showed an increase in CT surgery interest by 42% as a direct result of the workshops.
