Health Advocacy Competency: Integrating Social Outreach into Surgical Education
Being a strong health advocate is recognized as being an important part of being a good surgeon. Residency training programs have struggled with teaching health advocacy beyond didactic sessions, and in a way that encourages trainees to incorporate changes into their practice. This curriculum development aimed to incorporate reflective practice to encourage patient compassion and advocacy. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Surgeons and Surgical Trainees Underestimate the Total Charges and Reimbursements Associated With Commonly Performed General Surgery Procedures ✰
Surgical care contributes significantly to the fiscal challenges facing the US health care system. Multiple studies have demonstrated surgeons ’ lack of awareness of the costs associated with individual portions of surgical care, namely operating room supplies. We sought to assess surgeon and trainee awareness of the comprehensive charges and reimbursements associated with procedures they perform. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Influencing Mindsets and Motivation in Procedural Skills Learning: Two Randomized Studies
An incremental (growth) theory of intelligence (mindset), compared with an entity (fixed) mindset, has been associated with improved motivation and performance. Interventions to induce incremental beliefs have improved performance on non-surgical motor tasks. We sought to evaluate the impact of 2 brief interventions to induce incremental beliefs in the context of learning a surgical task. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Crowdsourced Assessment of Inanimate Biotissue Drills: A Valid and Cost-Effective Way to Evaluate Surgical Trainees
Providing feedback to surgical trainees is a critical component for assessment of technical skills, yet remains costly and time consuming. We hypothesize that statistical selection can identify a homogenous group of nonexpert crowdworkers capable of accurately grading inanimate surgical video. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Defining the Content for a Quality and Safety in Surgery Curriculum Using a Nominal Group Technique
There is growing awareness of the need to provide surgical residents with training in quality and safety. Previous studies have revealed a need for a formal curriculum, but the content and structure of such a curriculum has not been defined. Our objective was to develop a surgery resident curriculum using a consensus, team-building approach. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

When a Surgical Trainee Is Sued: Supporting Residents Through Interactions With the Medicolegal System
Roughly 1 in 5 residents is targeted by medicolegal action during training, and almost all practicing surgeons will face suit by the time they are 65 years old.1-4 Despite this, there is a widespread perception that surgical trainees do not receive adequate preparation in medicolegal aspects of surgical practice. Previous studies have focused on interventions aimed at preventing legal action against residents or preparing residents for their potential defense after being named a party to a lawsuit but have not examined how to preserve their ongoing training in a residency program.
