In intraoperative teaching, and I think I talked a little bit about this when we
first talked about intraoperative teaching.
You want to be focused, but it's not as if you're ignoring the teachable moments.
You still engage in the teaching that's not explicitly focused on the objective.
So sometimes surgeons have teaching scripts that about
particular operations or that are about particular aspects of operations.
You don't have to give those up, but you do need to focus some of your teaching
on one thing that you want to make sure that your learner carries out of the room.
And that should be the objective that you set in the briefing.
That's not to say that they're only going to carry one thing out of the room.
They may carry a lot out of that room.
But you want to be sure that they at least carry one piece of new information
out of the room when they're done with the operation.
