Using a flipped classroom model to enhance learning for the millennial surgical resident

De Virgilio1 first described a traditional teaching model (TTM) of classroom podium-style didactic lectures, assigned reading, and proctored quizzes to optimally educate surgical residents for the American Board of Surgery In Training Examination (ABSITE). However, millennial learners have been shown to be difficult to engage through a TTM.2 They learn better with small group interactive sessions3 and real-time constructive criticism. With this in mind, Salman Kahn pioneered the flipped classroom model (FCM), which reverses the TTM structure, to educate students in schools across the United States.
