Implementation of Video-Based Coaching in Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Training

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Surgical Training
• Technology in Medicine

Background:

• Video-based coaching (VBC) utilizes recorded procedures and expert analysis for objective feedback.
• Head-mounted cameras offer a surgeon's-eye view, showing potential for skill improvement in pilot studies.
• VBC may enhance residents' confidence and cognitive skills, impacting future performance.

Purpose of the Study:

• To comprehensively review the literature on VBC in surgical education.
• To evaluate the importance, effectiveness, and application of VBC in orthopaedic surgery residency.
• To determine VBC's role as a supplementary educational resource.

Main Methods:

• Scoping review of existing literature on VBC in surgical education.
• Analysis of studies focusing on VBC's impact on technical and nontechnical skills.
• Evaluation of VBC's application within orthopaedic surgery training programs.

Main Results:

• VBC demonstrates potential for improving residents' technical skills.
• VBC can foster the development of nontechnical skills like critical thinking and cognitive awareness.
• Studies suggest VBC enhances self-confidence, positively influencing future procedure performance.

Conclusions:

• VBC is a promising supplementary educational resource for orthopaedic surgery residents.
• Objective feedback through VBC can significantly contribute to skill development.
• VBC complements traditional intraoperative training, offering a valuable learning modality.
