Evolution of 'See One, Do One, Teach One' for 21st Century Knee Specialists
Description
The transcript is from a presentation on arthroscopy, delivered by Chinmay Guptae. In the opening section, Guptae expresses his pleasure at participating in the conference alongside esteemed colleagues, Abtin and Hannah. The focus is on the learning and teaching of arthroscopy, illustrated with a recent case involving a 45-year-old patient with a knee issue, showcasing the meticulous preparation and planning involved in such surgical procedures. Guptae discusses the significance of skill decay due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically highlighting the diminished triangulation skills of a trainee who had not practiced arthroscopy in over a year. He critiques the trainee's performance during the surgery, using terms like "mouse around the hole syndrome" to describe challenges faced during the procedure.
The presentation further evolves into an interactive segment where audience members participate in live polling to identify key steps necessary for learning and teaching arthroscopy. This segment leads into a discussion on important aspects such as portal placement, depth perception, and clinical judgment. Guptae explains the learning curve of trainees and the transition from unconscious incompetence to conscious competence, emphasizing how trainees often struggle with procedures despite knowing their expected actions.
Towards the end, Guptae discusses simulation training as a crucial component of surgical education, touching on diverse training methods including videos, apps, phantom models, and cadaver courses. He articulates the necessity of practice with real surgical equipment and the role of simulation in enhancing surgical skills while reducing errors during actual patient interactions. His closing statements highlight the collective effort behind setting up simulation labs and the importance of structured training frameworks in surgical education. The talk ends with acknowledgements to colleagues involved in developing simulation resources.
