Filter by:Funding for resident training is continually decreasing. The investigators hope to look at innovative ways to improve resident education. The project will investigate whether skills acquired in a surgical lab result in improved operating room (OR) surgical skills. This will be a randomized controlled trial that will split residents up into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will be required to pass training modules for six essential surgeries before operating in the OR. In the OR, both groups will be graded by the supervising doctor and be asked to rate themselves using validated questionnaires.
Most General Surgery program directors have expressed the necessity to educate residents on the business aspect of medicine. However, the literature review did not produce any interventional studies directly addressing coding and documentation in General Surgery Residents. The purpose of this study is to address specific coding and documentation mistakes as identified by surgery coding analysts in the surgical department. Through this examination, we hope to provide residents with the necessary tools and framework for adequate documentation throughout their surgical careers.
