Abstract
Study Objective To measure the impact of a standardized laparoscopic curriculum on knowledge and simulation skills assessment in Ob/Gyn residents Design Non-Randomized Control Trial Setting Three residency programs in Chicago, IL Patients or Participants Twenty-four residents Interventions A standardized laparoscopic curriculum was developed in accordance with Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) training guidelines. The educational program consisted of a didactic lecture with a written pre and post test and laparoscopic simulation training. Residents were trained in peg transfer and precision pattern cutting skills. A skills assessment was administered pre and post simulation training. This skills assessment measured time to completion of peg transfer and time to completion of precision cutting. Data points were assessed using a repeated measures analysis of variance. Measurements and Main Results The residents were evaluated with a significant improvement in knowledge score from 66.7% to 84.4% (p Conclusion Implementing a standardized curriculum improved resident knowledge and simulation skills in laparoscopic techniques. The program demonstrated an improvement in residency learning and could be applied to improve resident training in laparoscopy and FLS training.
