摘要
Introduction: The negative perceptions and lack of exposure to surgery and the operating room (OR) have been known to divert students away from surgical specialties. This study describes the impact of a surgical subspecialty exposure event (OR Essentials), combined with surgical faculty and M4 mentorship on preclinical medical students' confidence at an academic medical center.Methods: OR essentials event teaches surgical skills to preclinical medical students through hands-on skill-based workshops in a simulated OR setting. Pre and postevaluations were administered to measure program impact.Results: One hundred four preclinical medical students participated. Following OR essen-tials, students reported a significant increase in confidence in the OR (P < 0.0001) and in basic surgical skills (P < 0.0001).Conclusions: Early surgical exposure events like OR essentials provide opportunities to improve medical student confidence in the OR, which will hopefully support recruitment of future surgeons.& COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.
