Background And Methods:
We conducted a focus group analysis with students and surgeons on factors which influence medical school students' education in the operating room (OR). The interviews were analyzed using grounded theory.
Results:
The analysis resulted in 18 detailed and easily applyable themes, which were grouped into the four categories: "Students' preparation and organizational aspects", "Learning objectives", "Educational strategies for the teacher", and "Social-environmental aspects".
Conclusion:
By including students and surgeons, we were able to extend existing knowledge and enable better understanding of factors influencing teaching in the OR.
