Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved spatial skills and learning outcomes in medical students taught with 3D printing and precision imaging, indicating digital tools enhance surgical education.

Key Points

To assess whether combining precision imaging and 3D printing with case-, problem-, and team-based learning improves spatial visualization and clinical training in cardiovascular surgery.
Conducted a parallel-design randomized controlled trial among 80 clinical medicine students (2020 cohort) undergoing practicum training in cardiac surgery at a university hospital.
Randomized students 1:1 into either an innovative digital teaching group using precision imaging and 3D printing (n=40) or a standard integrated teaching group using case-, problem-, and team-based learning (C-P-TBL; n=40).
Assessed educational efficacy via theoretical knowledge exams, practical skills tests, and standardized teaching quality and satisfaction surveys.
The digital teaching cohort achieved statistically superior theoretical and practical skill assessment scores compared with the conventional C-P-TBL cohort (e.g., reported mean score of 81.37 ± 7.72).
Questionnaire responses showed significantly greater improvements in the digital teaching group across self-learning capacity, knowledge application, problem-solving skills, and spatial visualization ability.
