What the study is about

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.

Being studied: Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course; Active Comparator #1

Conditions: Gynecology; Medical Education; Operating Rooms
