The Effect of Bench-model Training in Cognitive Learning in the Operating Room
An observational study of Sensitivity Training Groups, run by The Physicians' Services Incorporated Foundation at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
Based on the motor learning theories, it is hypothesized that bench-model training will allow junior residents to be more interactive than trainees lacking similar active hands-on training. Read more about this study

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | performers who will participate in the training sessions. | |
| Assistants | Assisants-paired with the performers and will be allowed to assists only, without the opportunity to practice the technical skills related to the task. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary objective of the study is to show that bench model testing not only improves the technical skill of the student but that it also influences the student's ability to learn the didactic information and decision-making.
Measured: 6 months
