The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether integrating an enhanced Surgical Operating Room (OR) curriculum into the medical student program improves knowledge and proficiency in gynecologic surgical techniques and procedures among medical students at Wayne State University. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course increase medical students' knowledge and comfort with gynecologic surgical procedures? Does participation in the course improve students' clinical perceptions and management of gynecologic emergencies? Researchers will compare students who participate in the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course (intervention group) to those who complete the standard rotation (control group) to see if the enhanced curriculum leads to greater improvements in knowledge and clinical skills. Participants will: Attend virtual didactic lectures covering gynecologic anatomy, perioperative care, surgical techniques, and management of gynecologic emergencies Complete pre- and post-training surveys assessing knowledge, skills, and perceptions related to gynecologic surgery This study involves approximately 60 medical students, with participation being voluntary and all responses de-identified.
This study is a prospective cohort study implementing a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) simulation case-based workshop in emergency (EM) physicians at different training levels as an educational and competency-based assessment tool. The investigators incorporate elements of Miller's pyramid (second and third levels of "knows how" and "shows how") and the latter part of Kern's six step model framework for curriculum development (intervention implementation and student assessment, program evaluation, and feedback). The investigators will compare pre-/post-workshop knowledge and post-OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Exam) technical skills scores. The investigators will also collect demographic data on baseline POCUS scans completed, training level, interest in ultrasound fellowship, monthly performed clinical POCUS scans, etc. The standardized simulation cases for EM POCUS training can then be generalized for use at any program globally to improve clinical training and patient care.
