A novel model for resident training There is no excuse today for the surgeon to learn on the patient. — William J. Mayo, M.D., 1927 Primer OB/GYN ‘boot camp’ prepares new residents for patient care Mayo Clinic in Rochester trains first-year obstetrics/gynecology and family medicine residents in procedural skills using an innovative program called PRIMER (Procedural Repetition Involving Montessori-type Experience and Rehearsal). The program teaches step-by-step procedures in the Mayo Clinic Multidisciplinary Simulation Center to instill confidence and confirm mastery before residents progress to the next level of complexity. Brian Brost, M.D. (OBG ’03), a consultant in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and operations director for the Mayo Clinic Multidisciplinary Simulation Center, developed PRIMER, which residents refer to as “OB boot camp,” in 2007 to provide preclinical training. “I wanted to help residents develop strong procedural skills before they ever see a patient,” he says. Bobbie Gostout, M.D. (MMS ’86, I ’87, OBG ’91, BIOC ’93, GYNO ’96), chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mayo Clinic, says the training program is completely aligned with Mayo Clinic’s patient centeredness. “Dr. Brost provided a tool to make our learners better for our patients, based on our primary value of patients coming first,” she says. “It’s an alternate model to practicing on real people. Leaders throughout our institution see this as a better way.” 2013 | No. 1 5
