Changes in OBGYN Resident Surgical Skills and Confidence After implementation of a Pre-Urogynecology Rotation Bootcamp

The aim of this project is to assess the procedural skills of residents before and after implementation of a Urogynecology Resident Bootcamp prior to the start of their Urogynecology rotation. This bootcamp will include surgical simulations with a focus on vaginal hysterectomies. The bootcamp will also include assembly of a cystoscope and a video demonstrating cystoscopy during a urogynecologic surgery. As is currently routine in our program, residents will receive feedback using a formative feedback system called myTIPreport after they perform surgeries during the rotation. We hypothesize that this bootcamp will improve residents' feedback on performing a hysterectomy when compared to residents' feedback prior to implementation of this curriculum using myTIPreport. We will also evaluate if there is a change with overall resident satisfaction with the Urogynecology rotation and comfort level with performing vaginal hysterectomies in independent practice.
