“…Generations were defined as follows: baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X, born between 1965 and 1979; and Gen Y, born between 1980 and 1995. [10][11][12] The survey was piloted among 4 OR personnel (nurses and surgical technologists) whose separate as well as collective opinions were sought. Overall, the pilot cohort found that the platform, instructions, adequate demographic questions, and the scenarios described were representative of everyday OR occurrences demonstrating a realistic range of issues.…”

Background Little is known regarding the impact of operating room (OR) personnel generation on their perceptions to various surgeon behaviors. We aimed to characterize these relationships by evaluating their responses to 5 realistic intraoperative scenarios. Methods Operating room personnel were asked to assess surgeon OR behavior across a standardized set of 5 scenarios via an online survey. For each scenario, respondents were asked to identify the behavior as either acceptable, unacceptable but would ignore, unacceptable and would confront the surgeon, or unacceptable and would report to management. Chi-squared analyses were used to compare responses to surgeon behavior with respondent generation. Results There were 3101 respondents, of which 41% of respondents were baby boomers (n = 1280), 31% were generation (Gen) X (n = 955), and 28% were Gen Y (n = 866). Overall, when compared to Gen X or Gen Y, baby boomers were significantly more likely to find surgeon behaviors of impatience ( P < .001), being late for a case ( P < .001), swearing in the OR ( P < .001), and shouting with a bleeding patient ( P = .001) to be inappropriate and would talk to the surgeon. Alternatively, Gen Y respondents were more likely to find fault with surgeon behaviors that deviate from rules and regulations, such as forgetting a time-out ( P = .001), when compared to baby boomers and Gen X respondents. Discussion Results of our study demonstrate that OR personnel generation affects their perceptions and response to surgeon behavior. Understanding these tendencies can guide efforts to improve OR interactions among team members.

“…While E-learning has been accepted by medical student educators as a useful tool for teaching theoretical knowledge, we were unable to find any study demonstrating improved orthopaedic surgical performance with its use [39][40][41][42]. E-learning does have its shortcomings and cannot completely replace face to face education.…”

Manual Dexterity Training for Orthopaedic Residents - Non-Patient based Methodologies

Current orthopaedic trainees are given less time to achieve competency in increasingly complex and diverse surgical procedures compared to their predecessors [1,2]. The multitude of different surgical techniques that have emerged require volumes of supervised repetition to achieve competence. It can be considered that surgical competence for orthopaedic residents cannot be achieved solely by caseload alone in the time it takes to complete residency [3,4]. Multiple factors, detrimental to the goal of rigorous training can be identified, including resident work hour restrictions, increasing administrative duties and documentation, inconsistent case volumes, and other service related duties [5]. These challenges have been compounded with changes in healthcare policies that center on Operating Room (OR) efficiency, reaching quality assurance targets, patient safety, and reducing patient waiting times. Such issues have forced a dramatic deviation from the traditional paradigm of the teacher-apprentice model of professional training, previously followed for the last hundred years [6]. These evolving challenges have necessitated alternative strategies of skill acquisition, notably physical and virtual simulation, psychomotor training, cognitive training, and competency-based evaluation.

The millennial generation plastic surgery trainees in sub-Saharan Africa and social media: A review of the application of blogs, podcasts, and twitter as web-based learning tools

et al. 2020

The delivery of education and training in plastic surgery in Sub-Saharan Africa face increasing challenges. These include endemic shortages of plastic surgeons within postgraduate medical school faculties, the erosion of financial and clinical resources for teaching, and more recently, the millennial generation paradigm shift. It is generally accepted that the millennial generation will be more discerning and comfortable in their requirements for web-based learning content to support their education and training in plastic surgery. We reviewed current literature including original and review articles obtained through a search of PubMed database, Medline, Google Scholar, and hand searching of bibliographies of published articles using the keywords: social media, Blogs, Twitter, plastic surgery, and millennial generation. This article defines and explores Blogs, Podcasts, and Twitter, as web-based learning tools, and discusses how to leverage social media to maximize their educational value and effectiveness.
