Video-Based Coaching for Laparoscopic Salpingectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
September 30, 2024
Nicole Donellan, MD, associate professor, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Medical Director, Division of Academic Gynecology, and Residency Associate Program Director, was part of a team that recently published research in Obstetrics and Gynecology that evaluated the effect of video-based coaching on the gynecology resident performance of laparoscopic salpingectomy.
PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents were randomized before their gynecology rotations to standard gynecology curriculum (control group) or standard curriculum plus two video-coaching sessions by a fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon (VBC group). From October 2021 to December 2022, 28 PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents completed the study with 14 participants per group.1
The study found that video-based coaching improves resident performance of laparoscopic salpingectomy and can be used as an adjunct to resident surgical training.
