Video-Based Surgical Learning: Improving Trainee Education and Preparation for Surgery

Abstract

Video-based learning is currently a hallmark of surgical preparation among residents and specialists working in Portugal. Based on these findings we believe that the creation of quality and scientifically accurate videos, and subsequent compilation in available video-libraries appears to be the future landscape for video-based learning.

Practice on the Grouping Micro-Video Competition Teaching Mode in Large-Class Biochemistry Course

“…Team-based learning is conducive to the cultivation of students' independent learning, cooperation and mutual coordination. Micro-video production is conducive to the cultivation of students' hands-on ability and innovative spirit, while competition can stimulate students' interest and fight in learning and improve learning efficiency [4,5,[8][9][10][11][12] . The main evaluation is to set up the main situation for the judgment, which makes the students have to meet the needs of the knowledge and ability preparation as the judgers through independent learning before the evaluation on others and learn imperceptibly in the process of evaluation of others [13,14] .…”

“…Grouping micro-video competition teaching mode is a set of new teaching mode that we constructed by integrating various theories and teaching methods, including in the team-learning mode, flipped classroom teaching mode, micro-lecture teaching mode and competition learning mode under the background of the popularity of mobile phone among college students, universality, convenience and popularity of micro-video [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . It refers to the completion of the learning goals of specific unit under the guidance of the pyramid cognition theory, cooperative learning theory, and theory of multiple evaluation, through the division of groups and cooperation of members within each group to learn a small knowledge unit by the production of micro-video as the first carrier, diversified evaluation integrating intra-group evaluation, inter-group evaluation, teacher evaluation, in-classroom testing evaluation, and end-of-term testing evaluation as a means of regulation, "student-centered self-evaluation" as the second study carrier and joint participation in the extension of teaching content as the third study carrier [1] .…”

IVORY Guidelines (Instructional Videos in Otorhinolaryngology by YO‐IFOS): A Consensus on Surgical Videos in Ear, Nose, and Throat

“…Educational videos have been shown to increase surgical skills and, as such, are increasingly included in the resident curriculum to expedite the training of young surgeons. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Many different video platforms exist, the most used being YouTube, but also specialized surgery-orientated platforms or online medical journal platforms. 4,[10][11][12] Educational surgery videos that are available online are too often of insufficient quality and are rarely peer reviewed.…”

Development of a model for laparoscopic cholecystectomy video assisted training. A randomized study

“…The willingness of such institutes to initiate a surgical training experience that mirrors the real life intervention, is of obvious benefit, not to just the surgical resident but also for patients and the system as a whole as it would streamline training, reduce intra-operative errors and be more cost effective 1. Although widespread video assisted training (VAT) still does not feature in standard surgical training to a qualifiable extent, with the classic methods of intra-operative "trial and error" and "see one, teach one, do one" still dominating the surgical training experience 3,4 . Our study aims at identifying the surgical trainee benefits through the use of video assisted training, with the hope of identifying an effective and relevant trainee aid that is resource cheap and educationally effective.…”
