Online vs. In-Person Suturing Training: A Non-Inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial in a Low-Resource Setting

This intervention involves basic suturing skills training delivered either in-person or online. In the in-person group, participants receive live instruction and hands-on supervision. In the online group, participants watch a standardized video tutorial and receive remote feedback via Zoom. All participants use identical suturing kits and are evaluated using the same OSATS checklist by a blinded assessor. The content and learning objectives are standardized across both formats.
