Enhanced operating room curriculum to improve medical student gynecologic surgery skills

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Wayne State investigators will offer a Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course to medical students on the OBGYN rotation and compare outcomes to students completing the standard rotation. The intervention includes virtual didactic lectures on gynecologic anatomy, perioperative care, surgical techniques, and emergency management, plus related training sessions and surveys. Outcomes measured will include changes in knowledge, self-reported comfort with procedures, and clinical perceptions of gynecologic emergency management. Results will be compared between the intervention and control groups to determine whether the enhanced curriculum leads to greater improvements.
