Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Gynecology
  • Female Pelvic Medicine

Background:

  • The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitation (POP-Q) system is a standardized method for assessing pelvic organ prolapse.
  • Effective training is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the learnability of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitation (POP-Q) system among residents and medical students.
  • To assess the retention of knowledge gained from a video-based training module.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 51 obstetric and gynecology residents and medical students participated.
  • Participants completed pretests and posttests after viewing a 17-minute video on the POP-Q system.
  • A delayed posttest was administered 3 months after the initial training.

Main Results:

  • A 17-minute video significantly improved participants' ability to interpret POP-Q findings (33% score increase, P <.0001).
  • Knowledge retention was maintained at 3-month follow-up.
  • Training effectiveness was consistent across different program types and faculty exposure.

Conclusions:

  • The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantitation (POP-Q) system can be efficiently taught using a public-domain video.
  • Video-based instruction is an effective method for medical education in gynecological assessment.
  • This approach facilitates widespread adoption of standardized diagnostic tools.
