In these centers medical students are trained using a variety of methods and techniques, one method being teaching in structured stations. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of this method by comparing the students' self-assessment of their own basic surgical skills before and after structured stations teaching.Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2004-08 in Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

ANOVA & Paired-t and non-parametric tests were used for data analysis.Results: Irrespective of which year the students were in, self- scoring on 17 cognitive subjects and 10 procedural skills showed a significant improvement after the instruction (p<0.001). There were significant differences among the 3 trainer groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that teaching basic surgical skills using structured stations is effective in improving practical skills.
