Video-based coaching enhances surgical education by providing more targeted feedback and teaching points compared to traditional operating room instruction. This method offers a valuable supplement for urology residents to improve operative skills.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Training
- Urology
Background:
- Traditional surgical education relies on operating room experience.
- Video-based coaching offers potential for immediate, targeted feedback.
- Evaluating the utility of video coaching in urology is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate and evaluate the utility and educational value of video-based coaching in urology.
- To qualitatively analyze interactions during video coaching sessions.
Main Methods:
- Recorded surgical cases of residents and attendings.
- Conducted video-based coaching sessions during urology grand rounds.
- Coded audio recordings from operating room and coaching sessions using a 5-category scale.
Main Results:
- Video-based coaching yielded significantly more teaching points per hour than operating room sessions.
- Attendings provided more information (7.7 vs 2.9 points/hr) and emphasized operative technique (10.5 vs 4.1 points/hr) during video coaching.
- Video coaching sessions prompted more open-ended questions (28.5 vs 4.4 points/hr).
Conclusions:
- Video-based coaching is an easily implementable educational tool for urology residents.
- Short video coaching sessions enhance skills learned in the operating room.
- This modality offers additional learning opportunities to improve surgical expertise.
