[Satisfaction with continuing education at a level 1 trauma center-Results of a survey and development of a competency-based continuing education concept]. / Zufriedenheit mit der Weiterbildung an einem Level-I-Traumazentrum ­ Ergebnisse einer Umfrage und Entwicklung eines kompetenzbasierten Weiterbildungskonzeptes.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Structured competency-based training is one of the most frequently articulated wishes of residents. METHODS: A survey of 19 residents was conducted regarding their satisfaction with the resident education at a level 1 trauma center. In this article the development of a revised competency-based education concept was carried out. RESULTS: The survey reflected uncertainty as to whether the current structures could meet the requirements of the residency regulations. The improved competency-based education concept consists of clinical mentoring, competency-based catalogs of learning objectives, regular theoretical and practical workshops as well as regular and structured staff evaluations. CONCLUSION: The education concept presented reflects the attempt to establish a contemporary surgical training program which will be evaluated as it progresses.
