The Effectiveness of Bioskills Training for Simulated Open Lumbar Laminectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Randomized, prospective study within an orthopedic surgery resident program at a large urban academic medical center.

Objectives

To develop an inexpensive, user-friendly, and reproducible lumbar laminectomy bioskills training module and evaluation protocol that can be readily implemented into residency training programs to augment the clinical education of orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians-in-training.

Methods

Twenty participants comprising senior medical students and orthopedic surgical residents. Participants were randomized to control (n = 9) or intervention (n = 11) groups controlling for level of experience (medical students, junior resident, or senior resident). The intervention group underwent a 40-minute bioskills training module, while the
