Abstract: Training of surgical techniques is a crucial component of the gynecology internship,but as a surgical discipline, gynecology faces certain difficulties and problems in internship teaching. Based on the knowledge structure of medical undergraduates and the clinical rotation characteristics, we developed a Preoperative Video Preview Teaching Method for the Gynecology internship.Based on this foundation, from June 2023 to June 2024, this educational approach was implemented with 82 students from the Class of 2019 (enrolled in the five-year clinical medicine program, the ″5+3″ integrated clinical medicine program, and the eight-year clinical medicine program) during their gynecology internship at the Department of Gynecology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. Upon completion of rotation, teaching effectiveness was evaluated via a self-developed questionnaire, and group interviews were conducted to gather feedback for improvements. Results from the 76 respondents showed that: 70 students (92.1%) reported an enhanced understanding of anatomical structures, 67 students (88.2%) indicated an improved comprehension of the gynecological surgical process, and 58 students (76.3%) believed their knowledge of minimally invasive procedures increased. In addition, 52 students (68.4%) felt their interest in the gynecology clerkship was motivated, and 44 students (57.9%) expressed an increased interest in pursuing a career in gynecology. Regarding the teaching methodology itself, a large majority of students (>80% for all items) agreed that the approach was well-designed, practical, and that the content was clear and easy to understand. Furthermore, 51 students (67.1%) rated the overall teaching effectiveness as excellent. In conclusion, the preoperative video preview model effectively enhances students' interest in learning gynecological operations and their overall internship engagement, receiving high satisfaction ratings from participants.
