Clinical Challenges in Surgical Education: Competency-Based Education

Clinical Challenges in Surgical Education: Competency-Based Education

Surgical training is evolving, and with advancing surgical techniques, the traditional “time-served” model of residency may not best serve the needs of our learners or patients. In this episode, we discuss recent efforts at the Indiana University surgical education program to implement a comprehensive laparoscopic cholecystectomy that utilizes all of the best practices of competency-based education. We’re joined by first author Dr. Betsy Huffman, along with her mentors Drs. Jennifer Choi, Matthew Ritter, and Dimitrios Stefanidis for a practical review of their pioneering work.
Learning Objectives:
· Review challenges to the current paradigm of surgical education
· Define competency-based education
· Discuss practical challenges facing surgical educators when implementing new curricula

general surgery residents’ operative performance and decreases skill variability – https://doi.org/10.1097/SLA.0000000000004853
Ad referenced in episode: A team at the Brooke Army Medical Center is working to better define proficiency-based metrics for competency in commonly performed general surgery procedures. If you are a PGY4/5 general surgery resident or practicing surgeon who performs robotic assisted cholecystectomies or inguinal hernia repairs, reach out to the PI, Robert Laverty, MD, at rblaverty@gmail.com, for more information on how you could be compensated up to $400 for recording and submitting those videos.
