Abstract
Wet lab sessions during residency play an important role in developing the surgical skills of trainee residents. However, establishing a wet lab requires funds and equipment. Moreover, they might not be accessible to all the residents. The smartphone magnifying lens can magnify the images 8-10 times, sufficient to practice suturing techniques. Hereby, we describe a novel model for resident surgical training using a smartphone.
