Background |
Changing residency structure emphasizes the need for formal instruction on team leadership and intraoperative teaching skills. A high fidelity, multi-learner surgical simulation may offer opportunities for senior learners (SLs) to learn these skills while teaching technical skills to junior learners (JLs).
Methods |
We designed and optimized a low-cost inguinal hernia model that paired JLs and SLs as an operative team. This was tested in 3 pilot simulations. Participants' feedback was analyzed using qualitative methods.
Results |
JL feedback to SLs included the themes “guiding and instructing” and “allowing autonomy.” Senior Learner feedback to JLs focused on “mechanics,” “knowledge,” and “perspective/flow.” Both groups focused on “communication” and “professionalism.”
Conclusions |
A multi-learner simulation can successfully meet the technical learning needs of JLs and the teaching and communication learning needs of SLs. This model of resident-driven simulation may illustrate future opportunities for operative simulation.

• | A team-based simulation that incorporates senior learners instructing junior learners can be successfully designed and implemented. |
• | Within this simulation, independent learning objectives can be established for junior and senior learners. |
• | Although the junior learners focus on technical skill acquisition, senior learners can focus on teaching, team leadership, and operative flow. |
• | This model of dual learner simulation may illustrate future opportunities for operative simulation. |
