Abstrakt: Objectives: To study how effective are the operation theatre clinical rotations among undergraduate medical students in learning different operative procedure and theatre protocols and to compare the operative learning between different surgical specialties. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study carried out in 11 different medical institutes and teaching hospitals of Lahore.7 of them were public medical institute and 4 were private. The population was out going final year and house officers out of which we took sample of 100 students via convenient random sampling. An anonymous structured questionnaire was used. The effectiveness of clinical rotation in OR (OT classes) was assessed by following parameters: hours dedicated per day to OR classes, attendance in following classes, ways of teaching operative procedure being performed on that day, surgeon's interest in taking OT class, availability of space around operating table to observe procedure being performed, procedures learnt, aseptic measures being taught, sterilization techniques learnt, and help in paper solving. Data analysis was done on SPSS Results: 51% of the population were females and 49% were males.78% of them were house officers and 22% were final year students.34% of population has allotted 2 hour for theatre rotation, 24% has 1 allotted hour and 20% has 3 or 4 allotted hours each.60% has OR rotation twice a week.20% has thrice a week and 15% has rotation once a week 40% strongly agree that there is no availability of space on OR table. While 76% has 4 or more people allotted per table. 46% agree that he operating surgeon took a class on what he was going to perform. 60% were not being able to visualize the procedure properly or to understanding and memorizing surgical procedure after rotation. Only 18% agree that the rotation help in paper. 57.5% has the most effective learning in general surgery or 18% considered gynae and E.N.T or as most effective learning place. Reason for effective learning in 76% of cases is surgeon explaining the surgical procedure with 12% cases of effective learning through video training and e-learning each. Conclusions: Theatre rotations are not very helpful in learning procedure due to non availability of space around the operating table, more number of students per table and no pre procedure briefing. Theatre with video training and e learning has more effective learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
