ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Intraoperative teaching is a critical component of surgery residents' education. Although prior studies have investigated best practices from the viewpoint of the expert educator, the perspective of the learner has been less explored. This study examined the ideal faculty teaching behaviors that optimize intraoperative teaching from the surgical residents' perspective.METHOD:
Using a grounded theory method, this study explored perspectives on intraoperative faculty teaching qualities of 5 focus groups of categorical clinical general surgical residents of the same postgraduate year from June to August 2021. Focus group discussions were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Emerging themes were identified, along with their corresponding subthemes.RESULTS:
Thirty-nine general surgery residents participated in the focus groups. Overall, 6 themes emerged regarding resident priorities of intraoperative teaching, with 10 subthemes. Themes included the following (1) character, with subthemes of caring, respect for resident, and self-control; (2) intraoperative skill, with subthemes of clinical and operative skill and modeling leadership in the operating room; (3) instructional approach; (4) feedback, with subthemes of content of feedback and debriefing; (5) discernment of resident needs, with subthemes of managing expectations, individualizing instruction, and autonomy; and (6) variety of teachers.CONCLUSIONS:
Certain tangible strategies, such as demonstrating genuine care for the learner, using clear directional words, and giving actionable feedback, were considered vital by residents. In the development of great surgical educators, the emphasis should not be on conformity to a single idealized teaching style but should celebrate and encourage diversity of personas and teaching styles within a department or program.
