Abstract
Background: Moulage techniques have evolved significantly from 19th-century wax figures to contemporary makeup procedures, enhancing simulation realism through visual and tactile cues [1]. This quality improvement project evaluates the integration of advanced moulage techniques by our clinical skills and simulation technician into medical education teaching.
Purpose: To assess whether enhanced moulage techniques improve medical students' learning experience, engagement, and confidence in applying theoretical knowledge in practical settings during simulation-based education [2].
Methodology: The data collection approach utilises several questions to seek feedback from students, with responses measured on a five-question Likert scale (ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree") which is completed via a QR code. Approximately 150 medical students will participate during the placement period from March 26th to May 28th, 2025. The feedback survey evaluates the students learning experience, engagement, and confidence in applying theoretical knowledge in practical settings.
Results: Preliminary findings from the first 30 days demonstrate that advanced moulage techniques significantly enhance the learning environment. Students report increased realism in simulations and greater confidence in transferring skills to clinical practice. Initial feedback has been predominantly positive.
Conclusion: Early results are promising. Additional investigation into comprehensive moulage integration across diverse simulation scenarios may reveal further benefits for student competency development and improved clinical outcomes.
