Surgical Education
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this study is to implement and evaluate the need, feasibility and effectiveness of a resident-initiated, step-wise, graduated operative curriculum designed to enhance resident autonomy for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for general surgery residents.
Detailed description
The goal of this study is to improve resident autonomy and confidence through detailed and stepwise feedback and to also assess resident and attending perceptions regarding resident skill and autonomy.
Interventions
OTHERbriefing objectives, intraoperative teaching, and debriefing feedback
A standardized step-wise operative curriculum amongst general surgeons will be implemented among all general surgery residents. Residents will follow and graduate through this curriculum by initiating a perioperative model of briefing objectives, intraoperative teaching, and debriefing feedback (BID).

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Surgical Resident's Autonomy | Baseline, postoperatively approximately one day | Measured using a validated Zwisch based survey to compare the rate of progression of surgical resident autonomy performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy pre and post implementation of standardized step-wise operative curriculum |
| Change is Surgical Resident's Operative Skills | Baseline, postoperatively approximately one day | Measured using a validated Zwisch based survey to compare the rate of progression of surgical resident operative skills performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy pre and post implementation of standardized step-wise operative curriculum |
| Change in Surgical Resident's Confidence | Baseline, postoperatively approximately one day | Measured using a validated Zwisch based survey to compare the rate of progression of surgical resident reported confidence performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy pre and post implementation of standardized step-wise operative curriculum |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Difference in Surgical Resident and Attending Physician Perceptions | Baseline, postoperatively approximately one day | Difference between surgical resident and attending physician's perceptions of progression of resident operative skills performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy pre and post implementation of standardized step-wise operative curriculum using a validated Zwisch based survey. |
