Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Across ten RCTs, change in performance from baseline to final assessment was significantly higher in the VBC group (SMD 0.98, 95% CI 0.61–1.35, p < 0.0001). → Anderson Steven Mark 2025

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis of ten RCTs reporting change scores, with 137 VBC and 132 control participants. The pooled effect size was SMD 0.98 (95% CI 0.61, 1.35); change "was significantly higher in the VBC group compared to the control".

"The overall change in performance from the baseline to final assessment was significantly higher in the VBC group compared to the control, with a SMD of 0.98 (95% CI 0.61, 1.35, Z = 5.19, p < 0.0001, and Figure 3)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Use of a previously validated coaching model yields significantly higher change scores but not significantly higher final performance scores — related
• VBC advantage over controls is largest against no-specific-feedback controls and non-significant against controls receiving supplementary training material — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• VBC outperforms controls whether delivered in single or multiple sessions and in simulated or live surgery — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Video-based coaching produces significantly higher final surgical technical performance scores than control feedback methods — related
