摘要

目的：在学术会议上演讲是传播研究成果、建立网络和建立专业声誉的重要手段，但在会议上演讲的质量往往不是最佳的。本项目描述了一个学术外科学会在其年度会议上为演讲者提供的演讲指导计划的设计、实施和评估。设计：口头陈述者与教练配对，并鼓励他们独立会面，但教练是无组织的。在会议期间，项目委员会成员对所有的演讲进行了评分。之后，一项在线调查收集了参与者和非参与者对该计划的看法。采用汇总统计和归纳编码对反应进行分析。通过t检验比较受试者和非受试者的演讲得分。背景：该项目是美国儿科外科协会（APSA） 2024年年会的一部分。参与者：聘请资深APSA会员担任教练，并邀请所有演讲者参加。在164名演讲者中，26名（15.9%）参加了辅导项目，并与24名教练配对。结果：几乎所有的参与者（92.3%）都是实习生，包括学生、住院医师或研究员。调查共有38份回应（23.2%），其中17份参与者（65.4%）和21份非参与者（15.2%）。大多数参与者与教练见过一次（58.8%）或两次（29.4%），通常是通过视频通话（82.4%）。主持人列举了参与该计划的各种动机，以及众多好处。几乎所有的参与者（94.1%）都对他们在教练项目中的经历非常满意。参加培训的学员的平均±标准差呈现评分为3.88±0.45（总分5分），而未参加培训的学员的平均±标准差呈现评分为3.79±0.51 （p = 0.49）。结论：让资深外科学会成员担任志愿者教练是一种可行且备受推崇的方法，可以帮助与会者，特别是学员准备他们的口头报告。与会者特别感谢有机会与资深会员会面。

Development and Evaluation of a Presenter Coaching Program at an Academic Surgical Conference

OBJECTIVE

Presenting at academic conferences is an important means of disseminating research, networking, and building a professional reputation, but the quality of presentations at conferences is often suboptimal. This project describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a presentation coaching program offered by an academic surgical society to presenters at its annual meeting.

DESIGN

Oral presenters were paired with a coach and encouraged to meet independently, yet coaching was unstructured. During the conference, program committee members rated all presentations. Afterwards, an online survey collected perspectives about the program from both participants and nonparticipants. Responses were analyzed with summary statistics and inductive coding. Presentation scores among participants and nonparticipants were compared via t-test.

SETTING

This project occurred as part of the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) 2024 Annual Meeting.

PARTICIPANTS

Senior APSA members were recruited to serve as coaches, and all presenters were invited to participate. Of 164 total presenters, 26 (15.9%) participated in the coaching program and were paired with 24 coaches.

RESULTS

Almost all participants (92.3%) were trainees, including students, residents or fellows. The survey had 38 responses (23.2% overall response rate), including 17 participants (65.4%) and 21 non-participants (15.2%). Most participants met with their coach once (58.8%) or twice (29.4%), usually via video call (82.4%). Presenters cited various motivations to participate in the program, and numerous benefits. Nearly all participants (94.1%) were extremely satisfied with their experience in the coaching program. The mean ± standard deviation presentation score among trainees who participated was 3.88 ± 0.45 of 5, compared to 3.79 ± 0.51 among trainees who did not (p = 0.49).

CONCLUSIONS

Having senior surgical society members serve as volunteer coaches is a feasible and well-regarded approach to help conference attendees, particularly trainees, prepare for their oral presentations. Participants especially appreciated the opportunity to meet senior society members.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
