ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The American Board of Surgery has mandated chief residents complete 25 cases in the teaching assistant (TA) role. We developed a structured instrument, the Teaching Evaluation and Assessment of the Chief Resident (TEACh-R), to determine readiness and provide feedback for residents in this role.METHODS:
Senior (PGY3-5) residents were scored on technical and teaching performance by faculty observers using the TEACh-R instrument in the simulation lab. Residents were provided with their TEACh-R scores and surveyed on their experience.RESULTS:
Scores in technical (p < 0.01) and teaching (p < 0.01) domains increased with PGY. Higher technical, but not teaching, scores correlated with attending-rated readiness for operative independence (p 0.02). Autonomy mismatch was inversely correlated with teaching competence (p < 0.01). Residents reported satisfaction with TEACh-R feedback and desire for use of this instrument in operating room settings.CONCLUSION:
Our TEACh-R instrument is an effective way to assess technical and teaching performance in the TA role.Key words
