Welcome to the operating theatre! Introductory bootcamp in operating theatre specialities for medical students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Since the early 2000's, the appeal of certain operating room specialties has decreasedamong medical school graduate students. The recent reform of the second and third cycles of medical studies in France provides an opportunity to set up teaching programs around operating room specialties. We have organised a teaching unit which is part of the final year of medical studies. The main objectives are: (1) to examine whether a boot camp can modify students' opinions and preconceived assumptions about a surgical and/or anaesthetist career (2) to determine whether these changes in perception, have an impact on students' interest in pursuing a surgical/anaesthetic career compared with the current situation.
