Testing surgical skills of obstetric and gynecologic residents in a bench laboratory setting: validity and reliability

Tests that measure hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, and other skills can be used to assess the surgical training of gynecological residents. This method may be cheaper than using animals to assess surgical skills.

A six-year study of surgical teaching and skills evaluation for obstetric/gynecologic residents in porcine and inanimate surgical models

Article Abstract:

A study to evaluate an ongoing teaching and objective surgical skills testing program for obstetric gynecologic residents in a laboratory setting and assess the impact on residents having 4 years of a surgical laboratory curriculum. Residents who completed the 4-year curriculum showed significantly better technical skills on bench tasks but not on objective structured assessment of technical skills as compared with those with less training.
