Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

This summary is machine-generated.

A new microlearning curriculum significantly improved gynecologic surgery residents' biostatistics and epidemiology knowledge and confidence. This innovative approach addresses critical gaps in evidence-based practice for improved patient care.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Biostatistics
Epidemiology

Background:

Gynecologic surgery and obstetrics residents require strong biostatistics and epidemiology knowledge for evidence-based practice.
Existing educational methods may not adequately address these knowledge gaps.
A novel microlearning approach was explored to enhance resident education.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the effectiveness of a novel microlearning curriculum in improving biostatistics and epidemiology knowledge among gynecologic surgery and obstetrics residents.

Main Methods:

A 6-session, bi-monthly microlearning curriculum was developed and implemented.
Sessions incorporated journal club reviews of seminal articles with foundational concept slide sets.
Text-based questions were administered pre- and post-session to reinforce learning.

Utilizing a 3D Printed Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication Model to Shorten a Resident's Learning Curve

Published on: August 15, 2025

Main Results:

Knowledge scores improved by 16.4 percentage points (p=0.004).
Confidence in interpreting statistics increased by 0.57 points on a 5-point scale (p=0.007).
Sixteen and seventeen residents completed pre- and post-intervention assessments, respectively.

Conclusions:

Microlearning techniques show promise in enhancing resident knowledge of biostatistics and epidemiology.
This curriculum effectively addressed critical knowledge gaps in evidence-based practice.
The findings support the integration of microlearning into surgical residency education.
