Objective |
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a simulated training scenario improved resident performance in operative hysteroscopic resection.
Study Design |
An interventional cohort study evaluated the ability of a hysteroscopic simulation model to improve resident performance in hysteroscopy. Residents were evaluated on operative hysteroscopy before training and at 1 and 6 months after training. Two physician graders, who were blinded to training status, evaluated the residents’ performances. Statistical analyses included the χ2 and the t test, as appropriate.
Results |
Hysteroscopic simulation training was associated with a reduction in operative times (11.8 minutes vs 7.4 minutes; P < .001) and resection times (4.3 minutes vs 2.4 minutes; P < .007) 1 month after training. At 6 months, total operative times were greater compared with those measured at 1 month, but resection times differed minimally. The total number of questions regarding hysteroscopic knowledge that were answered correctly increased from 15 to 26 (P < .001).
Conclusion |
Training that used a simulation hysteroscopic model improved resident performance.
