Summary

This single-blinded randomized controlled trial assesses the efficacy of peer-coaching to teach novice surgical faculty an advanced laparoscopic skill.

Conditions

  • Coaching
  • Technical Skill
  • Laparoscopy

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

conventional training

After completing the initial assessment, faculty randomized to the conventional training group received a link to a web-based instructional video. In addition, they were given a laparoscopic box trainer, laparoscopic instruments and sutures that they could use to practice with at their leisure.

BEHAVIORAL

peer-coaching

Faculty randomized to the peer-coaching group received ½ hour of peer-coaching after completing the initial assessment on the simulator. Each faculty member sutured on the box trainer while being observed by his or her peer-coach. All study participants had the same peer-coach.After the coaching session, study participants received a link to the web-based video as well as the box trainer and supplies to independently practice laparoscopic suturing. Similar to individuals in the control group, no specific guidance regarding the amount of independent practice was given.
