BACKGROUND AND METHODS

We conducted a focus group analysis with students and surgeons on factors which influence medical school students' education in the operating room (OR). The interviews were analyzed using grounded theory.

RESULTS

The analysis resulted in 18 detailed and easily applyable themes, which were grouped into the four categories: "Students' preparation and organizational aspects", "Learning objectives", "Educational strategies for the teacher", and "Social-environmental aspects".

CONCLUSION

By including students and surgeons, we were able to extend existing knowledge and enable better understanding of factors influencing teaching in the OR.
