Abstract
Procedural skills are considered a critical component of medical education. However many graduating medical students do not feel competent in a number of key procedures. Earlier procedural training has been shown to motivate learners to practice skills independently and may lead to improved self-perceived confidence. Unfortunately, medical school curricula have not kept pace with the need for earlier training, especially in the traditional preclinical years. Given this gap, we designed a 10-week extracurricular course for first- and second-year students, led by Emergency Medicine (EM) faculty and residents, to provide procedural skills training prior to the clinical clerkships
