The negative perceptions and lack of exposure to surgery and the operating room (OR) have been known to divert students away from surgical specialties. This study describes the impact of a surgical subspecialty exposure event (OR Essentials), combined with surgical faculty and M4 mentorship on preclinical medical students' confidence at an academic medical center.
OR essentials event teaches surgical skills to preclinical medical students through hands-on skill-based workshops in a simulated OR setting. Pre and postevaluations were administered to measure program impact.
One hundred four preclinical medical students participated. Following OR essentials, students reported a significant increase in confidence in the OR (P < 0.0001) and in basic surgical skills (P < 0.0001).
Early surgical exposure events like OR essentials provide opportunities to improve medical student confidence in the OR, which will hopefully support recruitment of future surgeons.
众所周知,对外科手术和手术室的负面认知以及缺乏相关接触会使学生远离外科专业。本研究描述了一次外科亚专业接触活动(手术室基础技能培训),结合外科教员和四年级医学生导师指导,对一所学术医疗中心临床前医学生信心的影响。
手术室基础技能培训活动通过在模拟手术室环境中开展基于实践技能的工作坊,向临床前医学生传授外科技能。进行了培训前和培训后的评估以衡量该项目的影响。
104名临床前医学生参与了此次活动。参加手术室基础技能培训后,学生们报告称在手术室操作方面(P < 0.0001)和基本外科技能方面(P < 0.0001)的信心显著增强。
像手术室基础技能培训这样的早期外科接触活动提供了提高医学生在手术室操作信心的机会,有望为未来外科医生的招募提供支持。
