Summary
Integrating media into surgical education enhances teaching delivery for resident doctors. This study found media effective, despite identifying areas for improvement in digital learning platforms.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Training
- Digital Learning
Background:
- The General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK mandates teaching competence for doctors.
- Junior doctors require enhanced teaching skills and portfolio development support.
- Traditional teaching programs face organizational and resource challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of integrating media into a surgical teaching program for resident doctors.
- To identify challenges and advantages of using digital platforms in medical education.
- To provide insights into leveraging media for surgical training.
Main Methods:
- A peer-led education program was implemented over one year (2022-2023).
- Online feedback forms (5-point Likert scale, qualitative comments) were used for participant assessment.
- Semi-structured interviews were conducted with tutors to explore media usage perspectives.
Main Results:
- Participants rated media integration highly (average 4.5/5), confirming its effectiveness in supporting teaching.
- On-demand content achieved 784 minutes of watch time across platforms like Medall and Microsoft Teams.
- Tutors reported enhanced teaching delivery and program objective support through media utilization.
Conclusions:
- Media plays a pivotal role in modern medical education, particularly in surgical training.
- The integration of media effectively enhances teaching delivery and learner engagement.
- Addressing identified challenges is crucial for optimizing media's role in surgical education.

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing...

Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...
