Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • All Mayo Clinic general surgery residents and attendings across all campuses

Exclusion criteria

  • None

Treatment and study plan

briefing objectives, intraoperative teaching, and debriefing feedback

Other

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 outcomes

  1. Change in Surgical Resident's Autonomy

    Time frame: 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

  2. Change is Surgical Resident's Operative Skills

    Time frame: 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

  3. Change in Surgical Resident's Confidence

    Time frame: 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 outcomes

  1. Difference in Surgical Resident and Attending Physician Perceptions

    Time frame: 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.
