The main questions the study team aims to answer are:* Will these lessons successfully teach the participants how to move bodies at work in a way that will prevent injury?* Will the participants feel that learning and practicing such lessons helps to avoid injury while at work?Researchers will compare training obstetrics and gynecology doctors that attend a class on ergonomics and have guided hands-on-practice of ergonomic body positions with training obstetrics and gynecology doctors that attend the class only to see if the first group learns and remembers how to move their bodies safely while working. All participants will attend a class that teaches basic ergonomic lessons before they are divided into two groups. Group 1 will practice common surgery skills on a model while being videotaped by an artificial intelligence application. The application will make a report on unsafe positions a participant does while practicing surgical skills. The Group 1 participant will then go over the report with one of the study supervisors to talk about ways that the participant can move safely while practicing the skills. The participant will then practice the skills one more time while being videotaped. The study supervisors will then compare the two reports to see if the participant improved.Group 2 will also practice common surgery skills on a model while being videotaped. Group 2 participants will not get to see the report that the application generates or speak with the study supervisors about ways to move safely while practicing the skills.There will be a follow up after two months to see if participants remembered what was learned during the class and during the hands-on practice lesson. All participants will again be videotaped. The study supervisors will compare the videos and reports from the last class to the most recent ones to see if the participants learned and remember how to move safely while working.Participants in both groups will take a quiz about the lessons learned in the class before and after the class to determine what had been learned from the lesson. A survey about how useful and helpful the class was and hands-on practice sessions were will also be completed., conditionsModule conditions: Work-related Injury, conditions: Work Related Upper Limb Disorder, conditions: Surgery, conditions: Educational Problems, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Participants will be stratified into junior residents (1st and 2nd year) and senior residents (3rd and 4th year) and then randomized to the intervention group or control group., primaryPurpose: OTHER, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 24, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Ergonomics Knowledge, interventions name: Ergonomics Feedback/Guided Practice, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants that would recommend incorporating surgical ergonomics lecture/module as a permanent part of the didactic curriculum., primaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants that would recommend incorporating surgical ergonomics hands-on skills session with feedback and guided practice on surgical ergonomics as a permanent part of the didactic curriculum., primaryOutcomes measure: Change from baseline in surgical ergonomic knowledge score over two sessions, primaryOutcomes measure: Change from baseline in surgical ergonomic practice based on rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) score over two sessions, primaryOutcomes measure: Change from baseline in surgical ergonomic practice based on rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score over two sessions, primaryOutcomes measure: Change from baseline in surgical ergonomic practice based on revised hand strain index (RHSI) score over two sessions, secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants that reported an increase in knowledge following surgical ergonomics lecture/module and/or skills practice., secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants that reported an increase in practice following surgical ergonomics lecture/module and/or skills practice., secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants that reported that surgical ergonomics education is valuable following surgical ergonomics lecture/module and/or skills practice, secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants with a change in pain scores following surgical ergonomics lecture/module and skills practice, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 20 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Montefiore Medical Center, city: Bronx, state: New York, zip: 10467, country: United States, contacts name: Alexandria Connor, MD, role: CONTACT, phone: 859-512-4053, email: alconnor@montefiore.org, geoPoint lat: 40.84985, lon: -73.86641, hasResults: False
