Operating Room Etiquette: What is the Role of the Student? Operating Room Etiquette: What is the Role of the Student? ============================================================ Operating Room Etiquette: What is the Role of the Student? is a CIVIS Student-Led Project designed to help medical students develop essential soft skills for their first operating room experiences. The workshop focused on preparing students for clinical practice through a combination of theoretical sessions and practical exercises, including role-play and interactive learning. With the demanding workload in medical education, the initiative aimed to create a space for more meaningful interactions and a relaxed, collaborative environment. The first edition of the workshop successfully took place on Tuesday, 4 March 2025, at the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Thirty-two third- and fourth-year medical students participated. > This workshop is a pilot project within a larger transnational initiative, and we aim to apply for the next CIVIS Student-Led Project call", explained the organisers.
