Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) residents find vaginal surgery difficult to learn. This study presents a practical, evidence-based curriculum to improve resident surgical skills and competency before graduation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology

Background:

  • Vaginal surgery is a critical skill for Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) residents.
  • Residents face challenges in achieving sufficient surgical volume for competency during training.
  • Competition for cases with fellows and recent graduates further limits resident practice opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a step-by-step, evidence-based model for implementing a junior-level vaginal surgery curriculum.
  • To share practical experiences, including costs and resources, from a three-year implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a structured vaginal surgery curriculum for junior residents.
  • Implementation and evaluation of the curriculum over a three-year period.
