Purpose Accurate assessment of clinical performance is essential to ensure graduating residents are competent for unsupervised practice. The Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education milestones framework the most widely used competency-based in United States. However, relationship between residents’ competency ratings and their subsequent early career outcomes has not been established. It important examine association U.S. general surgical those surgeons’ patient Method A...
To examine differences in resident operative experience between male and female general surgery residents.
With the rise of competency-based medical education and workplace-based assessment (WBA) since turn century, much has been written about methods assessment. Direct observation other sources information have become standard in many clinical programs. Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) also a central focus workplace. Paper pencil (one earliest mobile technologies!) to document observations almost obsolete with advent digital technology. Typically, supervisors are asked ratings using...
To establish the number of operative performance observations needed for reproducible assessments competency.Surgical training is transitioning from a time-based to competency-based approach, but reliably competency remains unknown.Using smart phone based evaluation application (SIMPL), residents 13 general surgery programs were evaluated performing common surgical procedures. Two metrics investigated separately: autonomy and overall performance. Analyses performed laparoscopic...
ABSTRACT Background Gender disparities are prevalent in medicine, but their impact on surgical training is not well studied. Objective To quantify gender trainee intraoperative experiences and explore the variables associated with ratings of autonomy performance. Methods From September 2015 to May 2019, attending surgeons trainees from 71 programs assessed a 4-level Zwisch scale performance 5-level modified Dreyfus after procedures. Multivariable regression models were used examine...
Purpose Learning is markedly improved with high-quality feedback, yet assuring the quality of feedback difficult to achieve at scale. Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms may be useful in this context as they can automatically classify large volumes narrative data. However, it unknown if NLP models accurately evaluate surgical trainee feedback. This study evaluated which techniques best formative recorded part a workplace assessment. Method During 2016–2017 academic year, SIMPL...
The graduate medical education (GME) system is heavily subsidized by the public in return for producing physicians who meet society's needs. Under terms of this implicit social contract, decisions about how funding allocated are deferred to individual training sites. Institutions receiving face potential conflicts interest, which have at times prioritized institutional purposes and needs over societal needs, highlighting that there little accountability such used. cost burden assessing many...
Understanding how to translate workplace-based assessment (WBA) ratings into metrics that communicate the ability of a surgeon perform procedure would represent critical advancement in graduate medical education.
Background: Milestones evaluations in plastic surgery reflect a shift toward competency-based training but have created number of challenges. The authors incorporated the smartphone application evaluation tool, System for Improving and Measuring Procedural Learning (SIMPL), that was recently developed by multi-institutional research collaborative. In this pilot study, hypothesize SIMPL can improve resident also collect granular performance data to simplify compliance with Milestones....
