Background:
Simulation now has an important role in theoretical and practical aspects of medical education and training.
Methods:
We performed an epidemiological, observational, multicenter study based on nationwide data collection. French obstetrics and gynecologic residents were invited to complete an anonymous survey.
Results:
We received 305 answers. The most frequently offered gynecology sessions were laparoscopy on pelvitrainer (76%) and pelvic ultrasound (60%) while the most frequently offered obstetric sessions were breech delivery (61%), shoulder dystocia (62%) and postpartum hemorrhage (68%) managements. Regarding session frequency, 29.1% of residents thought that one session per month would be ideal. Two hundred and sixty three residents (96%) considered that simulation-training sessions were beneficial. One hundred and thirty-six residents (49%) had an opportunity to repeat sessions and a majority of them (96%) found a daily benefit following a training simulation session.
Conclusion:
Simulation programs were extremely popular among the surveyed residents. To improve OBGYN resident training, simulation should be an integral part of residency programs.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
