Changes in OBGYN Resident Surgical Skills and Confidence After implementation of a Pre-Urogynecology Rotation Bootcamp

The aim of this project is to assess the procedural skills of residents before and after implementation of a Urogynecology Resident Bootcamp prior to the start of their Urogynecology rotation. This bootcamp will include surgical simulations with a focus on vaginal hysterectomies. The bootcamp will also include assembly of a cystoscope and a video demonstrating cystoscopy during a urogynecologic surgery. As is currently routine in our program, residents will receive feedback using a formative feedback system called myTIPreport after they perform surgeries during the rotation. We hypothesize that this bootcamp will improve residents' feedback on performing a hysterectomy when compared to residents' feedback prior to implementation of this curriculum using myTIPreport. We will also evaluate if there is a change with overall resident satisfaction with the Urogynecology rotation and comfort level with performing vaginal hysterectomies in independent practice.

Exercise and Heart Response Study

We are doing this study to learn if exercise impacts the effect of social tasks on energy use and heart function. Since exercise may impact metabolic factors such as energy use as well as the impact of social situations on cardiovascular disease, we want to see how exercise impacts the effect of social situations on energy and metabolism, and whether this may affect your heart health.

Antibiotics, Bacteria, and UTI Prevention Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the bacteria in women who are taking either methenamine hippurate (Hiprex) or nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin) every day to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). We will compare bacteria in the bladder, vagina, and rectum. The information we learn by doing this study may help us better understand how these medications work to prevent UTIs.
