Event Description
Dr. Sara Swango, MD
Project 1: Entrustable Professional Activities in Surgery – a novel EPA Based Curriculum
Description: An EPA-based didactics curriculum has been in place at St. Margaret hospital for over 1 year now. I will briefly revisit the design and implementation of this curriculum as well as show survey data on the response to this change.
Project 2: Physiologic Metrics as a Proxy for Cognitive Load in Surgical Trainees – A Pilot Study Using Laparoscopic Simulation
Description: I will discuss progress in this project including some preliminary data as well as compare and contrast with the recent JAMA Surgery study.
Project 3: Teaching Informed Consent to Surgical Trainees – A Novel Curriculum
Description: Learning to have informed consent discussions with patients in an accessible, informative, and patient-centered manner is an essential skill for trainees. However, the way trainees learn to have these discussions and the degree of supervision by attending surgeons is highly variable. I will discuss plans for a novel workshop-based curriculum for junior general surgery residents to learn and practice both knowledge and communication skills in a low-stakes environment.
Mentor: Dr. Tony Cyr
