简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether integrating an enhanced Surgical Operating Room (OR) curriculum into the medical student program improves knowledge and proficiency in gynecologic surgical techniques and procedures among medical students at Wayne State University. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course increase medical students' knowledge and comfort with gynecologic surgical procedures?
Does participation in the course improve students' clinical perceptions and management of gynecologic emergencies?
Researchers will compare students who participate in the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course (intervention group) to those who complete the standard rotation (control group) to see if the enhanced curriculum leads to greater improvements in knowledge and clinical skills.
Participants will:
Attend virtual didactic lectures covering gynecologic anatomy, perioperative care, surgical techniques, and management of gynecologic emergencies
Complete pre- and post-training surveys assessing knowledge, skills, and perceptions related to gynecologic surgery
This study involves approximately 60 medical students, with participation being voluntary and all responses de-identified.

研究组 & 干预措施
Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course
Participants in this arm will receive the enhanced Surgical Operating Room (OR) Enrichment Course as part of their medical student curriculum. This intervention includes both didactic lectures led by gynecology-trained physicians. The curriculum covers preoperative evaluation, perioperative complication prevention, gynecologic anatomy, surgical techniques, gynecologic emergencies, operative decision-making, postoperative care, and OR tasks and procedures. Participants will complete pre- and post-intervention surveys to assess changes in knowledge, proficiency, and clinical perceptions related to gynecologic surger
干预措施: Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course (Other)
Standard Curriculum (Control)
Participants in this arm will follow the standard medical student curriculum for the gynecology rotation, without the additional enrichment course. At the end of their rotation, they will complete a questionnaire assessing their baseline knowledge and perceptions of gynecologic surgery. No additional didactic or hands-on surgical skills training beyond the standard curriculum will be provided to this group
干预措施: Active Comparator #1 (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Knowledge and Proficiency in Gynecologic Surgical Techniques
时间窗: From baseline (start of rotation) to end of rotation (5 weeks)
Assessed by the difference in scores on a validated knowledge and skills questionnaire administered before and after participation in the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course. The questionnaire evaluates understanding of gynecologic anatomy, surgical steps, perioperative care, and technical proficiency, using a combination of multiple-choice, Likert scale, and open-ended questions. Improvement will be measured by comparing pre- and post-intervention scores within and between the intervention and control groups.
次要结局
- Change in Clinical Perceptions and Comfort with Gynecologic Emergencies(From baseline (start of rotation) to end of rotation (5 weeks))
- Participant Satisfaction with Surgical Operating Room Curriculum(At end of rotation (5 weeks))
