| Abstrakt: | Background: Teaching outpatient procedures is a skill often overlooked in faculty development. This oversight may lead to faculty employing a haphazard approach. Competency in procedural skills is inherent, and acquiring proficiency in procedural skills is necessary across all medical specialties, with some centers moving toward a blended simulation-based approach rather than the traditional Halstedian "see one, do one, teach one" mantra. While both formats have their pros and cons, they share the unifying concept of performance-based assessments and a standardized method for teaching procedures, which has typically been lacking a formal framework. Objective: This study aimed to implement and evaluate the impact of teaching an educational technique in a multidisciplinary faculty education workshop about the Sawyer framework for psychomotor skill acquisition. Methods: An interactive 90-minute workshop through the Uniformed Services University Faculty Development Program was developed and presented from February 2021 to October 2023 at multiple military treatment facilities. Participants enrolled in the workshop either by online registration or by walking in on the day of the workshop. A postworkshop survey was collected voluntarily. Through the survey, participants self-evaluated their current teaching strategy and made changes to their future strategy based on the framework they learned during the workshop. This was a mixed methods approach with quantitative survey data that were analyzed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA) and qualitative data through thematic analysis using a constructivist inductive approach. Results: There were 52 sessions with a total of 570 participants across 22 unique specialties. The response rate was 50%. Before the workshop, 22% of responding participants had no teaching strategy, and 49% had a partial but not explicit strategy for teaching. After the workshop, 89% of respondents answered that they would either implement a new or modify an existing strategy. Ninety-three percent of respondents reported that the Sawyer method was applicable to their future teaching. The overall themes from participants were that this procedural framework allowed for personal improvement in clear communication, individualized learner-centered teaching, and improved intentionality of teaching procedures. Conclusion: Almost two-thirds of the faculty did not have a formal teaching method before this course, which is consistent with current data. Implementing a standardized framework for teaching procedures through faculty development workshops for multidisciplinary medical faculty educators can improve the educational quality of procedural skills.
