The hand-picked surgical case series is demonstrated in a first-person perspective as performed by the supervising attending. For procedural learning, first-person perspective appears to be an effective, procedural learning tool and is preferred by most trainees.
A study by Fukuta & Morgan demonstrated that a group of medical students who watched first-person perspectivetraining videos performed better with clinical decision making and non-technical skills than a group of medical students who did not.1 Furthermore, the study noted that the medical students were “extremely receptive to the use of a first-person perspective video, and highlighted its perceived realism and its help as a memory aid.”
Another study by Nederveen et al. found that first-person perspective training video provided greater self-confidence in learners when compared to those who only conducted traditional text-only learning.2
The preference for first-person perspective training by trainees is not surprising. We view our world from the first-person perspective and viewing videos from such a perspective gives us an opportunity to accurately simulate what it would look and feel like to perform a particular procedure. Such simulation is essential to learn how to handle intraoperative complications when things are not going well and to learn technique subtleties such as how to position oneself in relation to a patient or how to place one’s hands while performing microsurgery. These details make all the difference in achieving consistent success in surgical outcomes.
