Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conventional training

Participants received access to a web-based tutorial for laparoscopic suturing and a box trainer for independent practice

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

conventional training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.

Intervention

Participants received access to a web-based tutorial for laparoscopic suturing and a box trainer for independent practice. In addition, they received two 1/2 hour peer-coaching sessions

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

peer-coaching

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.
