“…Although a number of resources are utilized for learning, common characteristics for the optimal resource is that they should be clear, concise, easily available, and comprehensive (Goldwag & Jung, 2020).This can either be a review book, lecture notes, simulation videos, actual procedural videos or online research-based literature. All resources with above mentioned characteristics work best when incorporated together, completing the jigsaw puzzle with all pieces put together in the designated sequence.…”

“…During recent two decades, surgical training has undergone a paradigm shift. Previously, surgical training was done in a traditional manner by one of the faculty teaching clinical and practical skills to the surgical residents (Goldwag & Jung, 2020). This has shifted to a training model fashioned on the pillars of basic knowledge, the ongoing researches, and patients' specific concerns (Evans & Schenarts, 2016).…”

“…While these developments are encouraging on one hand, these demand an extra hour out of the operating room and clinical hours to practice and master these skills on the other hand (Goldwag & Jung, 2020;Glass et al, 2015).…”

Introduction: Surgical training has gone through a paradigm shift in recent years. The trends have shifted from an apprenticeship model to a new era of self-teaching and an attitude-driven learning. In this study, we aim to comprehensively investigate the knowledge and attitude pertaining to the perception of preparation required for the operating room and how the residents prepare themselves for it. Method: A quantitative study was conducted via predefined questionnaire. Surgical residents at a single tertiary care institution were asked to complete the survey via Google forms that was distributed by means of email to residents of the general surgery department. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined. Results: Forty surgical residents opted to participate in the survey. The majority of the residents had a similar perception of operating room preparation. The most prominent theme that emerged following the discussion was that the residents learned through trial and error, and advice solicited from co-residents, which in the majority of the cases, were senior level resident. The resources defined by the residents were similar among majority and factors that affected their preparation were variable. An important aspect highlighted through the discussion was that the level of postgraduate training affected the preparation done by residents in order to better perform in operation theatres. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitude regarding operating room preparation was quite similar among the surgical residents. They varied in their practice for preparation.
