Duty Hours and Eval Forms and Robots, Oh My! A Levelheaded Approach to Intraoperative Teaching

CME Credit Hours: 1.25

This symposium is targeted to surgeons who regularly work with surgical trainees.  It will provide attendees specific skills to maximize the effectiveness of their intraoperative teaching while keeping patients safe and the OR on time.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Why is it so difficult to verbalize something as simple as a retraction angle when I’m not doing it myself (and how can I find the words)?
  2. How do I know that I can trust the resident with this portion of this case, especially if it’s robotic and I must relinquish control completely?
  3. How can I give difficult feedback effectively and without watching my teaching evaluations plummet?  What is implicit bias and could it be affecting me?
