Brief Summary:
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of the FCS curriculum on achieving the learning objectives and resident reported self-efficacy with communication skills and determine the scalability of the training across a range of general surgery training programs
Detailed Description:
The researchers have developed a 5-year curriculum for surgical trainees called the Fundamentals of Communication in Surgery FCS The training includes core communication skills eg expressing empathy and frameworks to support informed consent and serious illness conversations specifically Best CaseWorst Case and Better Conversations The curriculum provides one developmentally appropriate two-hour session for each of the five years of surgical training Because the training is skills based eg scenario planning and not procedure based eg goals of care conversations exercises are focused on specific techniques that build over subsequent sessions
Researchers will invite 1-3 surgical attendings per site with an interest in surgical education to serve as trainers for the FCS curriculum
All general surgery trainees at each institution will have access to the training program as part of their regularly scheduled educational curriculum regardless of training year or status as a categorical resident If there is interest researchers will provide access to the curriculum to fellows and residents in affiliated programs eg plastic surgery
Researchers will invite site personnel who have roles related to surgical education including the program director and associate program director if applicable 2 to 3 attending surgeons who have high contact with residents in urgent care settings eg emergency general surgery 1 to 2 members of the education coordination team
