ABSTRACT
Surgical education has evolved over time to incorporate supplemental modalities of training beyond the operating room. Even with the utility of simulation software and didactic education, there is still a need to provide surgical residents with experience in live tissue dissection and tissue handling while maintaining patient safety. In our program, after two clinical years, residents participate in a year of translational research which uses porcine models for complex open abdominal procedures. During the porcine surgeries, our residents are guided by the supervising attending to perform key portions of the procedure typically reserved for those more senior trainees. We found in a survey that research residents after two clinical years found this experience with large animal surgeries helped them better navigate anatomic structures and would recommend this to future trainees. We believe this dual-purpose research-training model provides a valuable resource that can be adapted to other programs.
