title: [Evaluation of surgical training in medical school].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effectiveness of training in surgical techniques in pig feet during medical school.
  
  
  METHODS
  We conducted a cross-sectional study with 87 volunteer medical students from different graduation semesters, who attended a basic workshop for incisions, sutures, biopsies, flaps, grafts, under direct supervision. Pre and post-training self-administered questionnaires were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The teaching of sutures, biopsies and ear correction was effective for learning of the minimal skills required for the proposed techniques (p <0.005), as well as excisions and flaps, except grafting (p> 0 97).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The methodological approach and monitoring of techniques' reproduction were adequate. The training offered complemented cutaneous surgical skills of undergraduate medicine students.
