Randomized trial evaluates surgical time improvements in veterinary students using a new training model, implying better training outcomes.

This study aims to assess how a new ovariohysterectomy training model affects surgical times for veterinary students.
Comparison of surgical times for canine and feline ovariohysterectomy between Pre-model (n=79) and Post-model (n=80) student groups.
Surgical times from incision to closure were recorded as part of routine practice.
Focus on clamping and ligation of ovarian pedicles as a challenging segment of the OVH procedure.
Canine ovariohysterectomy times were significantly reduced in the Post-model group compared to the Pre-model group.
For feline ovariohysterectomy, there was a significant reduction in time taken to ligate both ovarian pedicles and the uterine body in the Post-model group.
All students demonstrated improved surgical times over the clinical year, indicating growing competence and confidence.
